[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He got the Trustee Scholarship at BU, right? That puts him at the top 20 students in his class. He's going to have every door at BU open to him. He can send an email to any faculty member letting them know of his status, and he'll be offered research positions on the spot. He'll be showered with personal attention and recognition. He'll definitely be the biggest fish there, whereas he may be average/slightly above it at Yale.

There's a lot of sense in picking BU, but the residential and magical undergrad of Yale is one of a kind. To me, Yale is probably the best undergraduate education one could find in the world. They really are blessed with a lot, and the students there are so talented and incredible. If costs aren't a matter, despite all that BU will come with, I would choose Yale myself. If going to Yale meant talking out substantial loans, I'd probably try to find a way to finance it. Yale is one of those schools that pays lifelong dividends. There are only maybe 7 or so schools like that- Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge. If this were between BU and Northwestern, or BU and Williams, it'd be different. But Yale is at a whole another level. [/quote]
