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.

Bob- I suspect it is more that we don't know the answer. Or, even more likely, that there is not one single answer. To be honest, from what you describe of this situation, I'd have to say that she applied to one program that had a lick of sense and they got a good graduate student! (I think I sort of knew the last part was true- that the system doesn't necessarily select the best students - but I also suspect they get it right sometimes!) :) Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.
