<p>Yale refused to comment specifically on Hashemi, but did say that only two of the 29 people who applied to the degree-granting Eli Whitney program this year were admitted. According to the Yale Alumni Magazine story that I linked earlier in this thread, in the past about 8-12 people were admitted under the Eli Whitney program each year. So it looks like all the applicants to the program this year suffered from the Hashemi fallout.</p>
