I also admire your persistence but respectfully disagree on several points…

Please see below regarding valedictorians from Duke 5 years ago. I don’t think Harvard or time will have caused that number to favor OP.
The ECs are great but typical in that nothing they won’t have seen.
Lastly “big data” looks to sell big data and No is not good for business or account for intangibles line ORM or an unknown HS.
We can agree to disagree and both wish OP well.
2% or 15% chance of rain I still don’t bring an umbrella. Either way assume the worst and take your shot.
