[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, senior DD at Pomona is taking a gap year because no internships and no grad school in science.[/quote] Are you seriously the parent of a senior applying to grad school? That makes no sense. PhD is hard certainly in some areas especially if they have no research, 5-20% acceptance depending on program, and more competitive this year. But what about masters? Some decent ones still have apps open! There are so many Top-50 masters programs in the sciences that have 30%-50% acceptance rate. Surely from Pomona with a good GPA could get into a T50 masters in a science discipline. Most have not announced acceptances yet! Or did she only apply to the very top masters with funding (often below 20% acceptance) of which many are out (MIT, ivies, etc are wrapping up admissions soon). [/quote]
