Description: We talk a lot about the far end of graduate school—that is, the job market—but not enough about the front end, admissions. How should we practice graduate admissions in today’s radically constricted economic circumstances? What criteria should we use? What size should graduate cohorts be? How might we meet the need for diversity?
