It's not even the late night milkshake situation we're all curious about.

It's...

the weather.

It's the weather, like the warm weather or the cold weather.

It's a wild new study from Amherst College.

And it turns your college counselor into a meteorologist.

You see, at Amherst, if the day you visited campus was too hot, your chance of applying to Amherst fell by 10%.

And applications fell 6% if it was too cold, 8% if it rained, and

5% if it was simply cloudy.

All of that compared to a regular sunny day, of course.

Oh, if there was snow, that's a flat out no, Duke.

Sorry about it.

Nick and I dove in even deeper and found something even wilder in the data.

Get this.

The number of applications from Southerners fell 14.6% if temperatures fell below 50 degrees.

Now, I'm from Brattleboro, 50 miles from Amherst.

Yeah.

Nick, my nostril hair used to freeze in my walk between the locker room and my car.

Yeah, but you were born into that, Jack.

Not totally shocked kids from down south don't want four years of that nostril freezing.
