	It's probably more the exception rather than the rule. And usually only
at a few of the top places. Where I went, it was the case for CS and not
Elect Eng (or, AFAIK, any other engineering). John Hopkins is also that
way for CS. I know universities that have it that way for Electrical
(Caltech).

	As for the number of people who go into MS saying they'll do a PhD and
"bailing out" - probably most of them in my department - which needs you
to take the MS. You typically don't get funding if you say you don't
plan on a PhD. So everyone says they do intend to do one.
