Does GC have a disproportionately large number of PNM's who don't get bids?

Are you counting the PNMs that lurk and never post?

Yes, because she has a way to quantify those people into her estimate.

SRSLY?

Agreed.

Bad science... as I trudge off to the research lab...trudge trudge trudge. Research grunt, but it pays.

My point was that there are many many more PNMs and interested persons (mothers, fathers, brothers, friends) who look at GC and read the threads than those that actually post their stories/ask stupid questions/ask smart questions/shave your uncle's hairy back.

(And many that post a question, either get snippy or run off and never end up telling us how their recruitment went OR Sign up for a username, post in the intro thread, then never tell us about what happened during their recruitment).

Life lesson #1 you learn as a parent: Never ask a question when you mean something as a statement.

It was meant to be sarcastic. Sarcasm fail.

Re-try:

This must not include the number of inquiries we recieve (and or pageviews on the various recruitment related threads) where we never know how that poster's/lurkers recruitment turned out.

Point being - I do not believe that GC has a disproportionately larger number of PNMs that do not have bids matched. The numbers we get here are not statistically significant and do not reflect all campuses (indeed, many of the campuses we talk about are those who have a high number - not percentage but number - of women who are cut).

I understood your use of sarcasm perfectly.

And if all the other parents were jumping off a cliff, would you do it too?

I was channeling Sheldon.

And nice use of irony.
