What is the typical number of programs that students are applying to and interviewing?
The general advice you will likely receive is to rank approximately 10 programs to give yourself the best chance of matching. For most students this usually means applying to between 20-30 programs and interviewing at between 10-15. You should discuss your application list with Drs. Nehler and Whitehill (see below) prior to the end of August, and you should consult your mentor as well to gain their perspectives in order to individually tailor your status as a competitive candidate to your list.
