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?

Sorry, we don't offer university recommendations here, so I've edited out that part of the question. I've also edited out your "background" section since it seems unnecessary for answering the question.– ff524Sep 3, 2014 at 17:40

@DavidKetcheson Last time I checked, I was not crazy.– SverreSep 3, 2014 at 19:50

@Sverre Clearly you haven't read Catch-22. (this comment is intended to be humorous)– David KetchesonSep 4, 2014 at 6:20

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.– DavidmhSep 4, 2014 at 12:58
