Although I do not doubt there are some really amazing programs out there, I
really oppose using this list as a place to "plug" any programs, creating
lists of "top" schools, etc... This is not a venue for enlisting students,
it is a list for serving the educators in the field. I would like everyone
to refrain from such things in the future.
Sincerely,
Susan
