Just curious... why are you doing this when

                if ($_POST['hasReviewedApplicant']) echo $_POST['school_type_other'];
   else echo
htmlentities(stripslashes($result[0]->school_type_other),ENT_QUOTES);

Does the same thing,

Please post the code for the whole form.

Also, when you first enter the processing script, what does:
<?php echo '<pre>' . print_r($_POST,true) . '</pre>'; ?>
display on the screen?
