The National Science Foundation released the results of its survey of graduate enrollment in science and engineering. In 2006 total enrollment of first-time, full-time science and engineering (S&E) graduate students rose 6% over the 2005 level. That moderate rate of increase was fueled by a striking increase in enrollment by first-time, full-time enrollment of foreign students in S&E, which grew 16%. First-time, full-time enrollment of S&E graduate students with U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status rose by slightly more than 1%.
I’ve gone through the whole graduate admissions process for engineering…and not without help from brilliant friends and stellar, well-wishing professors.
To give back to the future academicians, I’ve put together a site with the collective knowledge and wisdom of my professors, fellow students, and seniors before me at http://www.gradvision.com. Check it out, let me know what you think!
