By Dan Duray | April 7, 2005

Called a "rising star" by The New York Times, David Anders '91 added yet another success story to his already impressive resume when his prosecution team successfully convicted former WorldCom Chief Executive Officer Bernard Ebbers last month. Anders joined the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force in late 2000, just before the country's recent deluge of corporate scandal, giving Anders the opportunity to work on several high-profile cases, including the prosecution of former Credit Suisse First Boston investment banker Frank Quattrone last year.

Nation's elite schools grow more selective

By John Mitchell | April 6, 2005

Ivy League institutions mailed out a record number of dreaded thin envelopes this week for the Class of 2009. Meanwhile, schools across the Ancient Eight reported that the qualifications of their accepted students broke virtually every record in the books, including SAT scores so high that the test may have lost significance in decisions. Although the number of high- quality applications continues to rise, the number of first-year spots at top schools has remained nearly unchanged, and acceptance rates have plummeted. While Dartmouth's final acceptance rate -- including both early and regular admissions -- hit an all-time low of 16.8 percent, it still pales in comparison to the rates of some peer institutions. The acceptance rates of Harvard and Yale were below ten percent, while Stanford and Princeton each accepted a shade over a tenth of their applicants.
