"Stanford is also the birthplace of The Marriage Pact, a matchmaking project created in 2017 and adopted at more than 100 universities. Creator Liam McGregor said it’s produced over 350,000 matches..."

That's a lot.

"... and dozens of marriages."

That's not very many for 350,000 matches. Let's say "dozens" means 100? 200? 350? Even that is 1 in 1000. Not very impressive for something calling itself "The Marriage Pact".
