[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From Malcolm Gladwell - there are a lot of MIT Business majors that started as STEM majors. You judge yourself with those around you - at top tier school you are likely at the bottom. He gave an example of a [b]Brown Bio major who dropped out but in retrospect she thought if she went to UMD she'd have a PHD in the field. [/b] [/quote] Likely the other way around. [/quote] 20 - 30 years ago Maryland was a different school and attracted different students.[/quote] Throwing names in is so much easier nowadays though [/quote] The effect is more random variation. One kid gets in four places. A similar kid gets in zero. Yield rates are chaotic. Schools way over admitting or under admitting. [/quote]
