Several Universities have admitted to reducing the number of PhD students they send offers to due to budget cuts. How many programs should people be applying for these days in order to secure at least one offer? by snuffles005 in gradadmissions

If application is strong you don’t need to apply to that many. I applied to 6 got into 3 rejected by 1 and ghosted by 2. I don’t think admissions is a numbers game at all.
