Correct me if I'm wrong.
As far as the MS students, if true, it is probably a function of the students, and not the school. Because certainly BYU students with BS are able to get into top PhD programs directly.

What you have heard about PhD students in the biological sciences sounds totally believable to me. When I was at BYU, most of the biology faculty would not have been competitive for jobs at major universities.
