Doesn’t it kind of vary by program as well? My friends applying for English PhD programs, for example, applied to a lot of places (10+) because the admissions process was SO competitive.

I’m a bit unsure of how many to apply to, but I’m leaning toward applying to around 10. I am going to devote a significant amount of time to it and I really want to make sure that I have good options to choose from.
