Pton leads post count, post-per-thread ratio

[silmon77]

In case any of you havn't noticed, this is the busiest college board on college confidential. Just look at the hard data. Our post count is approaching 10,000, almost double that of the notoriously nefarious New Haven nutcases, our closest competitor. Colombia, Harvard, and Penn are in the 3,000 club, but Stanford is the only other school to break the 2,000 post mark.

On the thread side, Columbia is in the lead with (as of now) 336 threads, followed by Harvard with 294. Princeton rounds off the top 3 with 280 (including this thread). Still, we're still laughing, sitting on top of an astounding average 34.0 posts per thread. Yale has a respectable 19.8 ratio. Columbia is stuck with a comparatively paltry 10.1 posts-per-thread. Brown is in last place in the Ivy League, and Ivy Schools don't compete with other institutions (not that it matters- only Stanford is competitive).

So it looks as though we have the cat in the bag for this year. Keep it up guys- show everyone why Princeton reigns supreme!

Do you enjoy cricket, by any chance? Your commentary was awesome!

Haha, that was funny. Good job, silmon. Tigers rule!

Do you enjoy cricket, by any chance?

One of my friends goes to that other *raises eyebrows* school over in New Haven, and she was telling me about some friends from Sri Lanka that play cricket.... on the first snowfall, at night, there was an impromptu snowball fight and she said getting hit by them hurt like nothing else....

Right, that was a boring anecdote, sorry. But yeah, our post count is crazy - I didn't check it for two days and now I feel so overwhelmed, even though half of the other boards have barely posted!

First read I thought this was some of the secret society stuff (the Sri Lankans playing cricket on the first snowfall at night)

Everything I learned about cricket I learned from Lagaan.

Sadly, that is only a minor exaggeration. I'm not big on watching sports in general (I prefer playing them) but you have to like the one sport that your motherland is good at.

lol, a little sad that we're analyzing this, but I'm loving our #1 spot...
(and btw, everyone knows Princeton actually earned the #1 in US News, Harvard's just there out of habit..not that anyone cares about ranks, right? )

I'm not big into cricket myself, but oh well, whatever keeps us ticking. India wouldn't be india without a) cricket and b) bollywood

[silmon77]

dont forget c) Indian chai, heated to perfection (ie burning your tongue)

Penn just passed Harvard and Columbia today.


After we take down those damn dirty Yalies we're coming after you. We're persistent. We're like a weed.


And then I'm gonna get rejected from Penn and it will all be for nothing lol.
