Not just that - it's also sample bias twice over. First, because Olin is ludicrously selective, and second, because Olin only offers founding-friendly majors.

Not just that - it's also sample bias twice over.
First, because Olin is ludicrously selective, and second, because Olin only offers founding-friendly majors. I don't think a pre-med intending to become a surgeon should really be faulted for "failing" to start a company, but that's effectively what the article does.

- Bartweiss 9y agoPick one of what? I'm not talking about whether Olin is a good school, it obviously is. I'm saying that "rate of company founding" is a nonsensical axis of comparison. It's like noting that Olin produces 100% fewer Stanford grads than Stanford does.
