This is only my slightly educated guess, but a lot of it might come  
down to how many applicants they get in different areas. So I think  
the more qualified applicants they get for a certain area, the more  
resources that area might get. (They also might have grouped LProf  
under graphic utilities, etc)

So the more applications they get (both mentor and students) the  
better. Get in early, but also getting together is probably good.  
Maybe if they get several color management applications, they'll see  
more demand and up at least a few of them.

When it comes to getting student allocations though, one of the  
larger points is probably to get as many applicants in as possible.
