<p>Where did I ever “proudly spout out a nominal yield advantage in Yale’s favor.” Maybe your insecurity made you hallucinate something I never wrote. What I did write pertains to Princeton’s potential inability to maintain its level of students while admitting more. Princeton right now could raise its SAT score - HYP could fill their classes with 1600’s, so I don’t know if that’s any sort of measure of whether there is or isn’t a dilution by admitting more. I think that was telling was that their yield did drop and they lost precipitously to harvard (According to Byerly at least) when they rid themselves of the Tufts syndrome. If there’s a limited pool of applicants up to your measure at least (rickoids, westinghouse), your math fails to appreciate that princeton has probably accepted all of them already, as they should on the merits.</p>
<p>Regardless, I am not sure how any of this is in any way relevant to my statement to which you took offense, namely, that if princeton increases its student body, the academy faculty/student ratio will decrease and yale will outpace. Read my original post, its not very controversial. Read my posts closer in general, you’re arguing in tangents.</p>
