So I'm meeting with the admissions coordinator for grad school this week, and I need some suggestions of stuff i can ask. i already know quite a bit about the program from my own research, but i asked for the meeting under the guise of having questions, when all i really want is to put my face and name clearly into their minds when they're making their decisions. i'd like them to sound intelligent, like stuff i wouldn't necessarily be able to find out on my own

Suicide rate
Homicide rate
% of faculty that are batshit insane and purely interested in self glorification.
% of students leaving due to medical issues (good gauge of the stress, lack of sleep, and time spent in the lab)

Find out what hoops you have to jump through to get an assistantship. Grad school on your own dime is teh sux0r.
