Yeah, I remember seeing that. I also found this:

While it doesn’t directly relate to this topic, it includes some useful tidbits.

I’m increasingly convinced of the importance of the personal statement. What I’m really curious about now is who makes the admissions decisions–faculty? employees?–and how many people have a say on the process–One person? Three people? A committee?
