This strikes me as an odd assumption - if no one answers I would assume that
there just didn't happen to be anyone from one of these schools reading the
list at this time who felt like responding or was able to respond. Knowing
what I know about the philosophy behind these schools, and what I think
(based on previous postings you have made) you know as well, I can't think of
any reason to assume that they are misrepresenting themselves in terms of
being student-directed.
