So, there were a lot of people who wouldn't have gotten in if it hadn't been for 9/11.

Did grad school enrollment rates drop post 9/11? I didn't know that. I would have thought it would be the opposite, since I thought the economy got worse after 9/11 and it caused *more* people to go to grad school. Of course, I'm no economist, and since I've been in school since 1988 and have not really had to be a grown-up with bills and a job and stuff, I don't generally follow the economy at all. But I thought I had heard that somewhere.
