[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s Harvard or bust. No other college matters. They are all Harvard rejects.[/quote]

+1.  If people have to go further, it is H > MIT=S > P=Y.[/quote]

S >/= H > YPM

Only portions of MIT, Yale, and Princeton are equivalent to Stanford and Harvard.

Yale is a great school and wouldn't be the first in the HYPSM group to get dropped given its prestige and name recognition.
They have already stepped up a lot in STEM over the last few years. They are not Stanford or MIT but are now in the same league as Princeton.
Niche ranks Yale as a top 10 CS school and they are above Harvard and Princeton in CodeSignal's ranking based on student coding skill.

H > S and all other schools. The quality of the students is the most important factor for a university. Look at the cross admits data comparing schools, H is the best school, way better than S that is second. https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Harvard+University&with=Stanford+University[/quote]

You do understand that the Parchment link you provided shows they DON'T have a difference in that Harvard Stanford matchup that is statistically significant at a 95% confidence level, right?[/quote]

Did you see the lower bound of the 95% CI for H is higher than the point estimate for S?  And similarly, the higher bound of the 95% CI for S is lower than the point estimate of H?[/quote]
I'll give you that the limited Parchment data [i]likely[/i] does support Harvard but it isn't a strong example to throw out something the site itself warns isn't statistically significant at a 95% confidence level. Note that the 95% confidence interval for Stanford also goes above 50% (and Harvard's goes below 50%).
I don't like personal attacks on these boards but that just isn't strong support at all of your H is "way better than" S  :lol: [/quote]

The more reasonable question is to compare the difference of the probabilities of choosing a school, not comparing choosing a school with 50%.[/quote]
