Harvard, Princeton or Yale?

12:59 here. Of course, I just read that my 3rd grade child will be entering college with the largest college class ever - so his chances of going to HYP are a snowball's chance in hell.

It's interesting that almost all of those who went to Harvard wish they'd gone to Yale instead. Did anyone who went to Yale wish they'd gone to Harvard (or Princeton?)

Happy to have gone to Yale, wouldn't trade it for Harvard or Princeton.

Princeton is fine.

Ted Cruz went to Princeton, so sometimes jerky assholes slip through in the admissions process anywhere.

LOL! +1

I know more than a few people who've gone to Yale for whom attending the school was the high point of their lives. I suspect some of them are posting here repeatedly. Maybe the Harvard and Princeton graduates have gone on to other things.

The vibe at Princeton was too preppy for me. Harvard felt like too much of a pressure-cooker. For some reason I didn't get that feeling at Yale.

These are all random impressions I got from touring, of course. I went to Brown. Go to Brown.

Does anyone at brown decide to go p/f (covered grades) all 4 years?

In the fictional film Admission, the junior admission officer (Tina Fey) is fired for scheming to get a favored candidate (later revealed to be her son?) into Princeton.

In the real life admission office, the junior admission officer likely was fired for letting Ted Cruz into Princeton.

I think Yale can claim the most U.S. presidents. Then again, the last one was Dubya.

I went to none of them, but I work in fields where I've come into contact with grads from all of them. I always like the Yale grads.

Which is easiest to get into early decision/early action?
