You’re using incredibly outdated data by quite a few years.

@blah2008 - My intent was to show that the difference between WUSTL, Hopkins and Tufts was statistically insignificant

One could argue that the mode of thinking underlying your analysis is even more outdated than the data presented…

Google, known for rigor in evaluating people, has devalued SAT scores and college GPA, which have long been critical tools for gauging potential.

Prasad Setty, Google’s vice president for people analytics, told The New York Times that they’ve found that those numbers alone didn’t lead to success at the company, and “are no longer used as important hiring criteria.” According to their data, the most innovative and happy workers feel like they have autonomy and a strong sense of mission, so Google looks for more than just the best grades and test scores.
