[quote=Anonymous]^^^ Sorry but you don't understand how statistics work. You list only the extreme outliers and show differences in them as an example of a substantive difference. If you showed a graph of yield rates of all colleges, it would show that the yield rates for Stanford and Princeton are virtually equal. Also, you assume yield rates = prestige, which has several gigantic flaws. First, it is a tiny cohort of people, and does not represent the general populace. Second, you assume that tiny cohort makes the choice based on prestige.[/quote]
