Some simply quited, some transfered to other schools and one or two failed the comps.

It seems every program has around 20 this year. A question to the veterans here. Is that unusual? I would think we might see some 25+ classes, or 30+.

And you are seeing some like that that, and to see only some is typical. Penn and Harvard both have huge classes. But low 20s is still the modal area of the distribution I'd say.

If most take 5-6 yrs to graduate, some take longer, some drop out or graduate in four, that gives you a program size of roughly 100 students, which I'd guess is a rough focal point, so it doesn't surprise me that low 20s is common. Of course some programs have more/less capacity.

I agree. We will see. I have a friend going but I think he will make it through!

Well now I propose another reason smaller classes might be good : profs need L and if the class size is small relative to the faculty, the marginal failed student actually enters in the profs utility... and thats always good!

LOL, now that's comforting. I just wonder how big is the weight for this part of their utility.

With 36 class size at Penn, it just might be negative!!
