#7 to #9 would never get admitted anyway.
The question you should ask is whether being able to admit #6 is worth it.
If #10 is some trust fund baby who couldn't study himself out of a wet paper bag, then probably not.
But if #10 is merely 'good' it might be worth it to be able to admit just-0.1-GPA-short-of-great #6.
- rahimnathwani 6y agoConsider the degree not as education, but as a signalling device. If you admit #10, then they will beat out #7-#9 in the job market, increasing lifetime earnings at the expense of the others. If you don't admit #10, then #6-#10 will compete on an equal footing. The latter may be the outcome you want.
