How many applications on average for the MD-PhD student?

<p>What's too much and what's too little? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>bump please…</p>

<p>I did 23 which seemed to be considered on the high end. I feel like 15-18 is probably more typical. My best answer would be “the highest number you can afford that also allows you to apply to several programs that you could more easily get into and that you wouldn’t mind being at for 8 years”</p>

<p>I applied to 18. This seemed to be sufficient. Just went down the top-20 list and crossed out the texas schools… I wouldn’t recommend that though ;)</p>
