It's standard dogma that when the economy is bad, people go back to school. Although it doesn't appear to be major news yet, a number of schools are reporting an increase in applications (here and here, but see also here). Despite an increase in applications, it is very possible fewer people will actually go to graduate school. This recession may be unique.
