The number of graduate school applications submitted is a critical factor in influencing admission outcomes. Submitting a sufficient number of applications balances maximizing chances of acceptance with the considerable investment of time and resources required for each application.

However, it’s essential to prioritize quality over sheer volume to ensure each application is compelling.
