<p>i would do both of them at the same time. i mean if we’re hypothesizing about being in that position, might as well take it to the max. and i would so, so take it to the max.</p>
<p>…I can’t think of any rebuttal to that.</p>
<p>If I had to choose between them (both not being an option haha), I would still choose Lorelai. Yes, I’m 17. I don’t care. She is naturally hotter than Rory.</p>

<p>nhs- Yale doesn’t have minors… They do have a program in education though. I think that’s what you mean.</p>
<p>@pianista There’s a chance that Yale might introduce minors. It’s currently being brought forward for discussion. [Yale</a> Daily News - YCC to recommend minors](<a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/27456]Yale”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/27456)</p>
<p>If I may put forth a humble theorem to this madness, I would suggest that the number corresponds to a committee in Yale which will review the applications. I’m taking this notion from Dbate’s comments on page 2, and since Dbate’s own theorem can’t account for the disproportionate amount of 2s that we see, I would like to think that the committees are oriented around the nature of the applicant’s major. I’m a 3 and I have seen many political science and economics majors, like myself, who are 3s. The 2s generally seem to be humanities, while everyone else is scattered about. Thus, I think that the number asigns one to a committee that is specifically geared towards analyzing prospective students for the major they are applying to and the role that student looks to fulfill once on campus.</p>
<p>^^ I don’t think so. I’m a .2 but I’m majoring in mechanical engineering major</p>
<p>D is a 2 and applied Biomedical engineering</p>
<p>^i’m a 2 for polisci. i’m pretty sure there’s not a conspiracy behind this. but it’s fun to theorize…</p>
<p>3 can not be for the political science and humanities types, because my primary EC is science research and I applied under mechanical engineering. If the number does correspond to the admission committee then I feel sorry for the 2s, CCers tend to be qualified and with all the 2s on here it would make for a really competitive pool.</p>
<p>damn me for being a 2</p>
<p>maybe 2s are urms and internationals?</p>
<p>^ Nope, I’m neither.</p>
<p>I think it has been easily established that it has to do with how many other applicants share your last name. I don’t understand why this is so difficult.</p>
<p>Oh, come on guys. Are you serious? Are the boredom levels this extreme? Some guy started an entire theorem on this?</p>
<p>The boredom levels /are/ this extreme.</p>
<p>Yep. Sit back and relax and enjoy the boredom. Just wait, because come Mid-March, you’ll see a plethora of ‘Oh my god i’m so nervous. I don’t think I’m gonna get in!!’ posts.</p>
<p>^ And we’ll love every minute of it. :)</p>
