<p>University of Arizona has a lot more undergrads. Do you really think that is a fair comparison?</p>
<p>As for NSF Fellowships, I still have qualms about using factors like that. For instance, I did not qualify because I wanted to study clinical psychology, which would enable me to either work as a therapist or as a researcher and NSF will only work for research-only doctorates. I am still going to a PhD program next year and am fully funded (tuition waiver + stipend) but yet I am not counted. Also, ND has a remarkable number of students who do service before going to graduate school, are they counted? Probably not since they didn’t go straight through. </p>
<p>All I am saying is it may not be the best indicator. Also, you can get into top schools from ND. I am very happy with my program and I know several people going to Harvard Law and other ridiculous schools next year!</p>
