[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a STEM PhD. I would never go to H/Y/P, nor would I ever encourage one of my STEM-oriented kids to do so. They do not have a good reputation when it comes to STEM fields, and I'd honestly question the judgement of anyone who went to one of those schools for a tech-related or science-related field. Law is one thing, STEM is another thing entirely. I would never hire such a person, nor would DH who is also in the field.

We'd bet a lot of money that STEM courses would be a LOT easier at H/Y/P than other schools that are more highly regarded for those fields. I wouldn't consider it an issue of grade inflation etc, more just that they don't have the expertise or the good students in those areas to really have a challenging curriculum.

Stanford is the obvious exception. It's a good STEM school.[/quote]
Which of the top schools would you recommend then?  [/quote]

Totally depends on the specific field / interest area and the type of role you're seeking after graduation.[/quote]
