According to the enrollment statistics published by U.S. [#permalink] New post 08 Apr 2012, 05:33
According to the enrollment statistics published by U.S. medical schools, as many female as male students are currently enrolled in medical school

Hi I understand the underlined part is a prepositional phrase
and my current understanding is Prepositional Phrases in the beginning of sentence is "verb modifier"
Example:
as per the MGMAT errata , On the couch, cat took a nap
because it answers the question "where"? so clearly this is a verb modifier


But here
I am not able to understand what this phrase "According to the enrollment statistics published by U.S. medical schools, " is modifying and how

Really appreciate any help

That phrase doesn't seem to modify anything. I believe the sentence itself is wrong. After the comma you need something that relates to the modifier.

First of all I think the sentence is not wrong grammatically. Please let me know why do u think it is wrong..

Anyway to illustrate it more lets consider one more sentence

According to the afternoon paper, the police was late.
