It's good if you like pizza.

Which you could find a ton of in any dining hall.

You're clearly not very educated on pizza, or food, or a lot of things.

Thank you, High brow pizza enthusiast. What ever would we do without pizza

Life with sloppy Costco pizza over great pizza is not ideal.

I love Costco as much as the next person, but it cannot be compared to pizza in New Haven. Different foods entirely.

As to the actual subject, I’d be thrilled with acceptances from any of these schools for a kid who thinks they are a good fit.

One striking attribute of their students is how emo and emotionally unwell they seem (along with physically unwell, if we're being totally honest), compared to other ivies and non-ivy elite privates (stanford, duke, etc.). What happened, exactly?

Dumbest post ever on DCUM.

I'd love to hear the opinions of all the students that were accepted to Stanford, Yale, and Harvard.

Is there one?

Or is this just another hypothetical discussion among clueless parents?

Accepted to Yale and Stanford. Didn't apply to Harvard - didn't interest me.

Chose Yale.

What made Harvard uninteresting to you? Was it related to a preferred academic subject, or perhaps campus life?

Yes it was campus life. I strongly preferred Yale's residential college with its random placements. Yale has always seemed to attract more down to earth students as opposed to Princeton and Harvard.

Yeah get back to us when your kid gets into any one of these schools. I went to Yale, but I would be happy to have my kid at any one of these amazing schools as long as it was a fit for them. No one who goes to any of these schools seriously degrades the others. I mean we do insult Harvard, but it is all in good fun.

For anyone still wondering why to choose Yale, here you go:

Yale is the preferred humanities school at our private these days. For engineering, no. But we have lots of kids who go off to Harvard or Princeton and come back saying it's not fun. Harvard more than Princeton. But all the Yale kids love it.

We dont have many who go to Stanford. Plenty at MIT, they're happy there too.

Not true anymore. MIT is considered #1.

On the west coast?

Caltech would like a word.

food in new haven is superior to PA and Cambridge

stanford especially feels like going to school at a taco bell. It's mega cringe when you walk around.

stanford is definitely the most overrated t10 campus experience.

The problem with Stanford is there is no real off campus life. Everything is so expensive because silicon valley is right there. So you are pretty much stuck with 4 years of on campus living.
If I could have gone to Harvard I would have and I would probably pick Princeton over Yale. I don't think Yale carries as much water as it used to, still a lot but I think it has been sitting on its laurels and it loses out to Princeton these days.

There, I said the truth.

Yale men tend to start of wealthy so that might have something to do with it.

+1. Caltech is super small. You have to be okay with that size, and not many are.

Well, California family here with three generations of Stanford. And Stanford is shit these days precisely because of Silicon Valley.

But if Silicon Valley is your thing, go for it. Cold, soulless, and corporate - that is Stanford in 2025.

3 generations ago, stanford was discriminating against minorities and women.
