I spoke to both German and Swiss consulates - both told me they need ticket reservations with my name on it, showing both arrival _and_ departure dates.
Both consulates told me they want to see hotel reservations for EVERY night while in Schengen area. Plus $100 per day in a bank account to support myself.
