Agreed, but think about what you just said, "record for econ Nobel prizes." So how many 18 yr olds look up which institution has produced the most Nobel winners? I'm not saying that is zero, I'm just saying that its a great follow up fact but not a good discovery fact. I think we've seen about 300 post cards and letters over the last 12 months starting with the PSAT results getting recorded.
I wonder if there isn't a startup idea like developer auction called "Student Auction"[1] where kids can list their qualifications, interests, and grades and have these universities bid on them with scholarships, etc.
Anyway, I don't doubt we'll get down to the bottom of the mystery, I like the idea. But I also liked the first 'hire me <foo>' web site idea too, would hate to see it get over meme'd.
[1] I'd probably call it 'Scholar Discovery' the business model would be that its free for college seeking students to sign up, has a monthly college based fee, privacy between student and university is assured, but current offers (sanitized) could be shared to show the recruiters what they are up against.
