Any Schools with open slots?

Does anyone know of schools that have open slots, ie are having trouble getting students. I heard a rumor that there are some schools in the U.S. that are having trouble finding students...hard to beleive right?

My program had open slots...but they didn't take anyone but the 8 people offered a slot. Two decided not to come and they decided there were not enouygh people qualified to get into the program...so we have 6 in our class instead.

I go to the University of Iowa (big surprise there are only 6 students...it's Iowa :) ). Next year they are taking 11. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the info! We had heard that some schools in California also had open spots. It would seem easier to get into a school that is looking for more students. Maybe we will give University of Iowa a call:)

I don't want to give the wrong impression about the program. To be honest, it was the most rigorous and grueling application and interview process I had been through (I interviewed at 5 schools...including Rush...) It is not an easy program to get into. They had several hundred applicants and they only interviewed 12. They accepted 8 for my class and then there were 6 that came. They did not offer the open 2 spots to anyone else. Iowa is A GREAT school. I would highly recommend it to anyone..but please don't think its a super easy school to get into....its not.
