It is now official: Harder to get a job at McDonald's than to get into Harvard

[jsamuel]

Harvard:
http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2007/4/2/class-of-2011-admits-beat-lowest/

This year fewer than 9 percent of applicants were accepted to the Class of 2011, according to figures the Admissions Office released on Thursday. Last year 9.3 percent were accepted.

McDonald's:
http://thinkprogress.org/special/2011/11/04/360500/chicago-trader-dumps-mcdonalds-applications-on-the-99-percent/

McDonald’s recently hired just 60,000 workers out of 1 million applications they received.

Harvard = 9% of applicants admitted
McDonald's = 6% of applicants hired

1. So will that add to the prestige of saying you graduated from Hambuurger U? nt
