[quote=Anonymous]I know quite a few people who turn down Stanford. Usually the others are schools like Harvard, Yale, and MIT- for various reasons. Some like the urban vibe of Harvard and MIT or want to be in the East Coast either because it's close to home or because it's a change of pace from California. Yale gets picked because the undergraduate experience emphasizes a liberal arts philosophy more, with the social sciences, arts, and humanities more openly celebrated and a great residential college system. Occasionally you'll have places like UPenn or Brown picked because of unique programs like Hunstman or PLME. There are a couple picking elite SLACs, which have a totally different vibe. And of course, a handful pick honors, state schools, or full ride merit scholarships over full pay or near full pay Stanford. [/quote]
