<p>From another article in the Yale Herald 2002</p>
<p>According to Shaw, Yale’s main competitors for students are Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford. “Currently Yale [goes] head to head with Stanford and Princeton while Harvard does a bit better against us [for common admits],” Shaw said.</p>
<p>To me that doesn’t sound like he is referring to a 4:1 ratio - maybe you know the real numbers. And Byerly, how does a 13% difference in yield rates equal a 70% difference in cross admit rates. Where do the 20% of a harvard admissions go?</p>
<p>And I would appreciate you not be so condescending and insulting in your messages. It is the reason why no one likes you and why you dissuade so many good applicants from going to the best university in the world. When I attack a Harvard stat, I am not attacking you, so don’t take it so personally. For god sakes, we are debating a yield rate, not “religious beliefs”- nothing so important for you to become irate and foul about. Maybe the best thing that ever happened to you was 50 years ago when you attended college there, but that would indicate a really pathetic hollow existence since. Then again you are a 65 year old Harvard cheerleader on a college admissions board, what’s more pathetic than that? For some reason you think you are Harvard, but you aren’t. So grow up you insecure old man or find some meaning in your life.</p>
