<p>"@texas how is the rest subjective? "</p>
<p>Tell me what makes this quantifiable to an adcom? I am reading it and I have no idea whether the publication is meaningful to a department at Yale, who would be considered a top scientist, and what a top 5 iphone app would be. If my kid developed a phone app that made a lot of money, I would tell them to forget college.</p>
