[quote=Anonymous]Many posters seem to have no basic understanding when two sets of objects/data etc., can be compared and when thy can't be compared. For example, 5 individuals do a long jump on earth and you take their readings. 5 other individuals do a long jump on the moon and you take their readings. You can't say one set of people is better at long jump than the other. Because the gravitational pull on the earth is roughly four times that on the moon. The individuals in the two sets are different. In the admissions comparison across high schools or across undergraduate institutions, there are too many variables that are different for each educational institute to make comparing admissions numbers totally meaningless. If you don't believe me, then ask a math or statistics teacher whose intelligence you trust.[/quote]
