<p>I’d argue that this incident will, in fact, attract more applicants. “Why?”, you might ask. Well, ever heard of bad publicity is better than none? Though, not true in every occasion, I think it’s partially relevant to this occasion. Sure, Yale receives enough publicity, being an Ivy League university, but people will look less at the murder, and more at the fact that the mystery murder got national attention only because it happened at an Ivy League university. What I’m implying is that people will want that type of probable attention. Not necessarily the attention you’d get if murdered, but the attention you’d get in general in this society. Basically, that Ivy League tag. Many people want it, and I’m saying that after the news of the murder, more people will want to be in an Ivy League university, particularly Yale.</p>
