Is this higher than normal? By how much? It sounds like a good thing but as at least an astronomer if there’s no grad places for the many seeking them, is that good ? Usually in times of bad economy we have more seeking grad school than there are places
we've steadily been increasing. I think we need to make sure that students know that grad school is competitive and there are fewer positions than there used to be, and instead emphasize the problem solving and technical skills that can transfer to other fields once they graduate.
