So, yes, of course I am happy to take that on notice. The only qualification I will make is this: your question speaks specifically to a cohort of people that graduated yesterday. I think it would make more sense to look at the number of applicants over a broader period of time, rather than for a small graduate course. Anyway, it is not hard.</text>
