We have to this point been unable to produce such a measure, despite more than a century of trying.
- JumpCrisscross 6y ago> We have to this point been unable to produce such a measure We have not been able to produce a precise measure. But we’re able to e.g. identify quartiles. Compressing the measure to “likely to graduate” tends to take care of a lot of the lifting. That’s why a random selection component makes sense. It is honest about our limitations. And it removes the stigma from those who met the fuzzy threshold but didn’t get admitted.
