[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I applied to PhD programs, the programs to which I applied were competitive, and it was difficult to get into them. Passing comprehensive exams was generally not considered difficult. One university (to which I didn't apply) had a reputation of taking a lot of people initially (so it was less difficult to get into), and then failing a lot of people on the comprehensive exams after two years. A lot of top students weren't willing to apply, because they preferred to get a yea or nay at the outset, rather than investing two years in a school and then having to leave.[/quote] Keep in mind, PP, that there is a dearth of public middle schools in DC. It's not as if BASIS is luring kids away from viable alternatives only to fail them in two years.[/quote]
