Grad school apps: if they ask you to list any other programs you are applying too, does it look bad to have none? I’m only interested in the one I’m applying for but don’t want that to hurt my chances

They want to know if the goals you're setting are realistic and if you're well informed. Ex. If you want to do finance in California and UCLA asks you what other schools, they'll prob scratch their head if you say Yale, not a finance school and wouldn't be a good move for West coast.

It might depend on what program you are applying to but I didn't have an issue with that.

Lol if it’s NYU/Columbia don’t say the other!

Which schools ask for this?

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

On June 21, I had an interview with two managers to become an HR Coordinator. Everything went smoothly, and I got good feedback, so I moved on to the management round of interviews. The recruiter initially stated that I would go through two rounds; however, between June 22-June 23, there were really five rounds, and I am still awaiting the scheduling of one more interview, even though it is now July. I'm becoming frustrated at this point. I’m still actively interviewing with other companies.
