They will then pass up very strong students whohave a significant amount of desire, but may not possess all of the desired characteristics.Clearly, there are some basic level skills that graduate students will need to do a particularresearch project, but a significant number of these skills can be made up for by hard work andenthusiasm for a research project.Treat the graduate students as a junior
