[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he wants to go into law/business/consulting Yale is a no brainer. Your DH may become jealous of the doors Yale will open for your son though[/quote] This is only partially correct. If law, then undergraduate school does not matter. If business, then matters for first options after undergrad, but does not matter re MBA school & post-MBA employment options. If consulting, then Yale is the better option.[/quote] If law, being at Yale is a big advantage. For quality of life and getting into law school... WAY less pressure to be #1 or similar in the class. Yale Law takes like 20 kids/year from Yale and maybe 1 from Penn State. Harvard is similar but with double the admits. For opportunities... There are just so many at Yale and they're so easily offered. Want to RA for a famous Yale Law professor? Send him an email. He has a fund to pay undergrads to work for him that basically exists so that he can say yes cost-free. Want to spend a summer doing something somewhere? You can almost certainly get it paid for. Want a specific ridiculous club that doesn't exist? Well, it probably does, but... if it doesn't, there are a bunch of funds to get start up money from. Overall, I really just cannot explain how much Yale gives you the feeling you can do anything you can imagine and how much that feeling sticks with you when you leave.[/quote]
