  Any student body that would waste that much time and energy on reading half-baked theories into a half percent uptick in the admit rate doesn't deserve good grades.

  hey prince,

  this is a good article in my opinion - timely, relevant, good summary, balanced, carefully written as is appropriate for a story based on anonmyous comments. but i really want to know what malkiel and rapelye have said in reply to this. someone really needs to get their side of this -- are they already changing things? can they present evidence to counter what might be thesis-induced panic?

  I think my comment is a meta-meta-meta-meta-comment -- a comment (1 meta) on a story (2 meta) on a comment (3 meta) on a story (4 meta). Don't comment on this comment, or it will create a strange loop.

  Seems to me that many grad students waste lots of time and energy reading half-baked theories on all sorts of half percent upticks.

  To the Pimple Popping Princeton Students:

  The exploding and rising Princeton admissions rate is the result of the admissions committee rejecting Jian Li for the Class of 2010, who was admitted to Yale and who later transferred to Harvard College.
