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.

Well, pick one. Either there's a cause, or there's no cause. Either they're full of shit, or they deliberately did this. You can't credibly claim both to dismiss them.

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.

Well, pick one.
