I like this study.<p>However, perhaps you should do it again with some Bayesian analysis. It seems as though you neglected the base rate on multiple occasions.<p>For instance, you showed fewer offers with higher degrees, but you know fewer people have higher degrees. You have to adjust the effect by the applicant pool.<p>In addition, it seems that people who got offers had a lot more errors than other candidates. I wonder why this might be?
