This is something that has always interested me: How many VI people
get to the stage of applying, and how many of them get to the stage of
assessment/getting to uni, and how many drop out after so long? I
have seen a lot of VI people drop out after the first year due to lack
of support/equipment/etc. I would have said 25-30 people was a good
number.
