<p>I really liked reading this article. Thanks for posting the link sfgiants. Not everything written may be absolute fact, though, even though they are quoting the adcoms themselves. LOL. Wow, don’t I sound like the skeptic? </p>
<p>But since they invite less than 300 to interview for Trustee (there are only spots for 150 interviewees in each of 2 Trustee Explore session and not every session is fully attended–one recent year only 258 showed up to interview for Trustee) , and offer Trustee to less than that since not everyone interviewed will receive it, how can ~140 matriculated students taken from maybe 200ish? is 45% yield? I’m no math whiz, so perhaps I’m getting dizzy? The numbers for Presidential and NMF look a little wonky too when compared to # interviewed and past year recipients, so it’s hard to say what to make of it. I noticed Brunhold was quoted as saying they invited 1100 to interviews this year, but in the letter sent to applicants, didn’t they quote the number as 1000?</p>
<p>Not that any of this makes much difference, really. We try to pick up clues as they come.</p>
