With that said, I don't personally have a problem with "an historic." I recognize it as a convention adopted by people whose dialect favors the silent h historic.

I welcome a conversation with anyone else who is working in this space. Email in bio.
I haven't tried PencilCase yet, but it looks like a great product with solid implementation. Good luck to you guys.
Incidentally, one of the interesting takeaways from the book is that if you look at plot of people mapped to career success, you'll find that benevolent givers dominate -both- ends of the distribution. The theory goes that those who are in the left tail got there by being too preoccupied with others' needs, to the exclusion of their own success. Conversely those in the right tail got to where they are both by helping others and by consistently asking others to help them. In the latter scenario these folks have harnessed benevolence as a strategy for career growth, and the collective goodwill "out there in the ether" nets out to measurable success over the long-run.
Move back home (if it's an option) and spend a year or two working 9-5 until you can finance your dreams with no strings attached. There are countless mentors who will help you find your way, and it won't require a stake in your future earnings to get where you want to go.

There's nothing wrong with taking it easy, and in fact I think you should if you're just starting out. But at some point you have to ask yourself whether you're in the race because you're passionate about it or whether you're in the race because you want to tell you facebook friends you ran a marathon.
So if you're CMU admissions, how do you maximize yield in those scenarios when P(student matriculates) is relatively low? You reject the student in favor of the better (if lower scoring) fit. Not only does it enable them to better predict/manage the size of the incoming class, but it also increases yield, which is a number that's reported directly to US News and which (in principle if not in practice) describes the desirability of admission from the perspective of incoming freshmen.
