Is it good to apply for more than one PhD program and accept ( the best case, obviously ) the most interesting/best paid/best outlooks one?

    I would say that applying to just one program would be downright crazy. Sep 3, 2014 at 18:24
  • @DavidKetcheson Last time I checked, I was not crazy.

Yes it is common to send multiple PhD applications to multiple schools. I am doing this now, I would RECOMMEND it actually because getting into PhD programs is difficult.

  • Open positions usually get 200-800 applications for a single opening. So yes, it is difficult to get in.
