These were just questions. I guess there is sometimes wariness about the kind of tiered situation with a BM program present, in terms of opportunities. At Eastman it seemed like the original poster was able to dip into Eastman’s offerings, though we don’t know to what extent.

I think we were just trying to get to the bottom of that issue for that particular school- USC- since we think so highly of it
