[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a very happy PSU parent whose kid is in a specialized program there that is among the most highly ranked in the country and, if by some miracle the kid had gotten into Yale (didn't apply) and was interested and we could easily afford either, there is zero chance that I would not be a Yale parent instead.

Unless (1) kid is a recruited athlete in a sport like football and wants that experience; (2) will be playing in the Blue Band and wants that experience; or (3) is heart set on a course of study offered at PSU but not Yale, then attending Yale is about the largest no brainer in history.  [/quote]

How about if the kid 1) wants to go to medical school and you can't easily afford that, too, 2) is among the many teenagers with an anxiety disorder that's exacerbated by academic pressure, 3) has someone who's mistreated her horribly in high school decide to attend Yale, etc. While I agree that most would choose Yale, I don't think it can be called a no-brainer.[/quote]
