<p>15-20 programs, mostly in astrophysics, some in physics, and possibly some in computational science.</p>
<p>16 PhD programs in Electrical Engineering. Want to get into 3-4 schools at least to be able to choose.</p>
<p>Yes, having some choices is a nice thing.</p>

"Dozens of really small ones nobody’s ever heard of (University of South Dakota has a medical school?) but M.D./D.O. granting, nonetheless. "</p>
<p>Keep this to yourself. A buddy of mine is doing an MD/Phd at this university. Elitism and snobbishness isn’t universally appreciated.</p>
<p>There was nothing “snobbish” intended about that remark - I was pointing out that a lot more places have medical schools than you’d think.</p>
<p>I graduated from a non-elite, yet wonderful, small-state flagship public. I certainly did not mean to impugn anyone attending a similar school. Screw the meaningless rankings - there’s great educational opportunities to be found.</p>
<p>12 in Psychology. 1 is a Master’s only safety. So expensive!!</p>
<p>I applied to:
1 in Biophysics
1 in Genetics
1 in Medicine
5 in Biomedical Engineering</p>
<p>14 in mathematics. I was going to apply to half that number, but my professors “encouraged” me to add a number of tippy top schools to the list.</p>
<p>Years ago, older brother did one school for phD econ, NYU, night school. Working days. His employer probably paid for the school. </p>
<p>DS applied to just 4 schools for MS eng. Top schools in his field, and wanted $$$$. Surprised us when one school said OK, and it was Canadian.</p>
<p>I just applied to 6 PhD programs in biological sciences. 2 top 10, 3 the next 10, 1 so called safety. I would be happy even if only the safety take me. you guys freak me out…one of my referees told me he wouldn’t want to write to too many schools, which limited my number of programs I applied. i tried to tailor my sop for each school after going through their websites…hope this will increase my chance…</p>
