Where do you want these kids to get an education exactly? College costs a fortune and a person want to access the best they can..for their cash....where do you suggest they pursue their higher education?

For starters, it would be nice to do some serious thinking and introspection before deciding on a college instead of blindly following the crowd or USNWR

What don't you answer the question? Where should these poor Yalies go to get some quality higher Ed?

Yale has had hooked kids for a long time, like other Ivies, but it's the academic qualifications of the unhooked kids that has taken a nose dive over the past 20 years.

There was a period when the Ivies embraced the idea of a meritocracy, and the best and the brightest both gravitated towards and typically ended up at Ivies. Then Yale and its peers pivoted towards promoting diversity over merit.

You are nuts. These kids are intimidating. Half of them could probably go directly into impressive jobs tomorrow and do well.

Yes, the kids who attended 20 years go were intimidating. Definitely not so today.

LOL 20 years ago they were your peers or close to it. Now theyre just kids.

Your comment is a bit concerning as it shows a serious lack of understanding as to how to choose a college

This. What’s changing is the notion of Harvard or bust.

The reality is that this isn't new to most of the country. There was a certain class of people who would attend these schools, and then they would also admit the top students from random schools across the country. It is the latter part that lead many to believe the entire school has always been the best and the brightest. Also, even the not so smart, but privileged class of students would go on to make a lot of money and get to nod to positions of leadership, because that's how it was always done. But again, that was never about the actual education.

Your a blow hard troll that can't answer a simple question.

It's worth noting that people usually group HYPSM together because they're the only schools that don't offer a binding early program or special scholarships to recruit top admitted students, but Yale broke that trend a few years ago when they started offering a special scholarship for top STEM admits. HPSM still don't need any special programs to recruit their admits, so I'd say Yale pushed themselves out of the top grouping. Probably more akin to Columbia, Penn, Duke, Caltech now.

The point is that you have a messed up notion of what is actually the "best."

You don't seem to understand what kind of educational opportunities are available at some of these elite institutions. In addition, these places are rich and offer generous financial aid if you can get admitted.

For starters, it would be nice to do some serious thinking and introspection before deciding on a college instead of blindly following the crowd or USNWR
