So, what does this mean? Maybe that there are way more people applying to grad school now than there were even 10 years ago and that the number of students that can be supported by the universities has decreased significantly. Either that or the system doesn't necessarily select the best qualified students to apply. ---------------- Perhaps it means that the "old boy and girl network" is alive and well. I've certainly been the recipient of back channel letters (for faculty positions at our institution) and the sender of same for graduate school positions. I try to believe that these are just extra information that is not going to be overly biasing to the recipient. It's hard to rationally believe that they are not, though.
