[quote=Anonymous]I went from a SLAC to a top 25 Graduate Program in my field and completed my PhD. I was not accepted with funding, which was unusual, but earned funding by the end of my first semester in the program. This was in the late 1990's so maybe things have changed. Overall, I would say that most of the top tier programs are looking for students who are interested in the field, have a demonstrated track record of academic excellence, and who appear committed to completing the program. I think that perseverance is more important then many people give credit for given the number of people who drop out of PhD programs.[/quote]
