We have a predefence oral that serves the purpose of separating the wheat from the chaff.

Since I've been at hopkins there's only been a single person who had to come back and do the defence again, although it happened to another person right before I got there (that person just recently ended up killing himself).

Most profs don't let their students defend unless they're happy with the work. They're the only people who can actually judge anyway. Physics is hard, and nobody understands what anybody else does.
