<p>KatMT:</p>
<p>At your university, are students accepted by the department or the university or both? If it is your department that decides, do you have any idea if your prospective students can afford the school or not? And if you do know that it may be a problem, does the department ever request of the university that they provide money for a particular student?</p>
<p>It sounds like the amount of uncertainty on both sides is huge.</p>
