[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a fun table for the person who keeps demanding stats. I was one of the years with only 30 students not graduating within 6 years, and I can personally name 12 of them and give you the specific reasons why they didn’t return. They started their own companies, left to be LDS missionaries, were orthodox Jewish, got married and then transferred, and there was some Korean national service stuff:

Of the ones who did not graduate in 4 years with our class but finish shortly after and counted as 6 year graduates, I think they were mostly study abroad kids. Yale used to not accept most study abroad programs for credit like some other PPs discussed, but some kids did it anyway and took on the extra semester or year. [/quote]

You “think,” huh?  Some data that is.

The bottom line is that dozens of Yale graduates took more than four years to graduate since the beginning of time.  That’s not “one or two,” it’s not “4-5,” and it’s not 12.  It’s a lot more than any number being thrown around by anyone talking out of their a$$.  [/quote]

This poster is really mad at the idea that some people go to schools with small classes and strong residential programs and might actually get to know their classmates and their stories. Sorry you went to a giant anonymous school where you were friendless and unknown.[/quote]
