<p>Phuriku:</p>
<p>You certainly employ stringent analytics and as much data as possible in your responses, and I think that’s much appreciated by everyone on this board.</p>
<p>At the same time, while a 88% vs. 83% gap in employment data might indicate “significant outperformance” statistically, qualitatively, the feels at the two schools are probably quite comparable.</p>
<p>Put another way, I think 97% of Penn students graduate in 6 years, whereas only 92% of UChicago grads graduate in 6 years. Perhaps statistically, there is a gap here, but in terms of the qualitative feel, the schools are quite similar.</p>
<p>When students are discussing choosing schools and the like, I imagine what can be significant statistical differences may not make any impression on a student’s actual experience at a school. Accordingly, in your analysis, you should perhaps make sure to keep that into account. Is a 88% vs. 83% gap in employment data going to affect or change a student’s experience at one top school vs. another? What about a 97% vs. 92% graduation rate gap?</p>
<p>From my perspective, these significant statistical differences don’t amount to much when projecting a student’s actual experience at a school.</p>
