I wish nonsense like this would turn people away. Yale is my kid’s dream school!

To be honest, crime concerns and lack of STEM strength have turned people and away and pushed Yale to the bottom of HYPSM, and I’ve seen more than a few posters just using HPSM to refer to the best schools (HPSM are equally strong in humanities and STEM and have “the best of both worlds”).

Reality: no one says HPSM except trolls trying to boost lower Ivies.

I didn’t go to any of these schools, but I’m sick of the Yale, Columbia and UChicago bashing. It’s so stupid.

It should just be HS at this point anyway. They are great in every program across STEM, the humanities, and social sciences in a way the others just are not.
Yale still belongs with that 2nd group of YPM though. Remember that HYP is actually the OG group.

For undergrad, I’d pick Yale and Princeton any day over Harvard regardless of major. Have heard from enough Harvard College alums how much they have hated it. Can’t speak about Stanford.

I think just Princeton. Ever since I saw that video of a mob of Yale students attacking a professor for having the temerity to suggest students are responsible for their own Halloween costumes, I realized that Yale is basically Oberlin these days. Plus they don't have meaningful engineering or computer science programs. Yale really has no business sitting on top of the rankings. It's not 1955 anymore. They haven't kept up with undergrad STEM programs. And their students tend to be "social justice" warriors. I'd be disinclined to hire a recent Yale grad.

If you think this social justice thing is just happening at Yale, you are completely delusional. It is happening at all Ivy campuses, and I say that as the parent of two recent Penn and Cornell grads.

ALSO, I didn’t realise this but Yale does have a very strong conservative scene going on as well. I learned this from the kid of close friends who is a recent grad and was active with the Yale Political Union.

It just shows you that most people don’t know what the F they are talking about. They talk about schools they know nothing about as if they do.

I am a recent Princeton alum, and completely agree with the bolded statement. The social justice thing is happening across all the Ivies and I'd even say across all top schools on the East Coast. It is certainly happening at Princeton as well.

I just attended an NYC alumni event over the weekend and some of the older alums were complaining about how woke Princeton is and how they can't recognize it and would stop donating.

I loved Princeton, and would wholeheartedly recommend it but make no mistake - it's not any less social justice-y than Yale is.

Also, the fact that a Harvard and Princeton grad bothered posting on here to dispel some of the nonsense talked about Yale, one of our key rival schools, should alarm you about the level of nonsense written about certain schools by people who have no direct knowledge.

What this is telling me is that all you Ivy Leaguers just support each other.

The Ivy League is overrated and should be dismantled. My honest opinion.

Dismantled? You mean like the PAC-12?

Oh good lord. It means that we respect the other schools at the same level. Aside from good natured ribbing, the Ivies are all truly excellent institutions. Different yes and I wouldn't recommend all to every student. But anyone who thinks they are something other than truly excellent and world class institutions just has no idea.

Primary reason why DS chose P over Y. Car broken into on BDD did NOT make for a good visit.

My father was manager of a large warehouse near Chicago. About half the workers were from Cuba. My father was always looking to promote from within. When he heard someone mention that this one Cuban worker had gone to Yale, he arranged to have a chat to see if the fellow was interested in moving up. When asked if it was true he had gone to Yale, the guy admitted he had, but he said it common for the Cuban police to put people in “Yale” even if they didn’t do anything wrong.

Beware of Yale indeed!

In four years in New Haven, they took three car radios (plus smashed window) and held me up at gunpoint.

Trying to scare folks off from applying to Yale is not going to increase your kids chances.

In 12 visits to campus, not once has my car been broken into or have I have been held up at gunpoint...

Wow, 12 visits, some undoubtedly with your car in valet parking. Try parking overnight at the train station or a mile down Whitney Avenue. Admittedly, it has been a while, but I'm not interested in collecting more data.

This kind of mindless college bashing is part of the treasonous Russian-Trumpie effort to weaken us by tearing down and terrorizing all kinds of institutions, ranging from beer brands to discount stores to colleges.

You’re either a paid participant in the effort to put the world under the boot of Xi and Putin or their unwitting puppet.

My honest opinion.
