<p>I reject anyone, especially you Byerly, who uses such rankings to predicate such ludicrous comparisons between institutions whose difference is far too complex to measure in any sort of magazine. I also, you will note, never accept or tout or spew on other boards, like you do, rankings which favor yale or harvard medical school. It goes both ways. </p>
<p>As for the increase in the student body Prefontaine, I have a strong suspicion from the results of Rapeleye’s more meritorious admission scheme (at least in comparison to her predecessor), that Princeton will have a tough time competing with harvard and yale for top admits - a finite pool of which princeton has its fair share, but might encounter dilution if it needs to get larger, an effect that is already seen by a decrease in its yield and its reliance on ED. Just doing the math…</p>
