Edit2: See nv-vn's comment below. They won't consider how much you "demonstrated interest" in CS to get into the program. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17446996 [Edit: this isn't only for the CS program, and it's not only about women, but you can fill in the blanks I guess] I think it makes sense if you think women (IIRC this was about the gender gap in CS) tend not to be directed toward CS as much as men are…

How can you possibly judge future potential without looking at past accomplishments?

> “So we are resigning. We are not retiring, we are resigning,” she wrote. “No parties please.” I don't know how academia works, but what is the implication of "resigning" vs "retiring"? Does that change what happens with pensions or is it just a semantic difference used for emphasis?
