>How many people who are admitted to a grad program cannot manage grad school?I'd guess maybe ~1/4 to 1/3 of people. That's a pretty rough estimate off the top of my head, but I would still put it well below half. More than you'd think, though.
Typically, it's the same type: people who don't have solid research experience in undergrad, might have done an REU, but have never really had to "sink-or-swim" in a big-time lab at an R1. But, they had great grades in undergrad and could finagle a letter or two from a professor whose class they Aced.
Also, nowadays, there are tons of "resources" to help PhD students "cope with the stress" of grad school. You can read that as: doesn't look good when students drop out, and money and spots are wasted, so PIs allow them to cruise through, maybe slap their name on a paper or two, then get their buddies on the advisory committee to wave the students through at the end of their sixth year.
