Thank you, Darcy. I think there has been pretty close to 100% support (not entirely, but pretty close) among our alumni base for this decision, both because they tend to trust the office (maybe that’s survivorship bias), and because they know what the MIT education is like).

With our blog post (glad you liked it, @mynameiswhatever), we’re trying to persuade people that this is the right decision for us, and why (without saying it would be for other places, where we can’t do research). That desire mostly comes from our broader commitment to the public interest, i.e. trying to be as transparent and educational as we can about our own work (About MIT Admissions | MIT Admissions).
