No, I don’t work with the Yale admissions committee, but I certainly wouldn’t mind if I were able to do so part-time. :D</p>

Well, this isn’t the first murder to be committed on the campus of Yale, and hardly any of the past events are remembered in detail. What someone could say transpired from these murders are an increased amount of aspiring Ivy Leaguers. Let’s be honest, when people hear of a murder on a “random” person such as Annie, but also see Yale in the headlines, all that people (particularly the young) comprehend is the name ‘Yale’. Homicides happen on various college campuses every year, yet you don’t hear about them. I know of a recent murder that happened at Harding University, but it barely received local attention, let alone national. A student at Yale presumptively goes missing, and the whole nation is tuned in… because it’s Yale, an Ivy League university. For many of the young people of today, if an event doesn’t distinctly affect them or their friends and families, then they don’t care about it. You hear of selective hearing, well there is also selective reading, and, as aforementioned, people will only see the Yale in the headlines and want to go there because it receives that national attention that so many seek. The media knows this as well, and that’s why they choose to cover only those associated with the few renowned universities.</p>
