[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale.
I went to med school there. There were maybe 10-20people in my med school class who had gone to Yale undergrad and every single one of them loved it (Harvard, on the other hand, had a lot of grumpy alumni). We would sometimes go up the street to visit the undergrad colleges (like “JE” and “Calhoun”) with the Yale alumni - the college system feels very warm and friendly. Also, I like New England weather.

However, that’s knowing what I know now. I think I would have been very intimidated and probably miserable at Yale as a solidly middle class 18 year old from the boonies. I think my undergrad (Wesleyan) was a better - albeit not perfect - fit for me at the time. And I’m pretty pretty darn happy with the education and support I got at Wes. For example, I probably wouldn’t have ended up at Yale med school if I were coming from Yale undergrad.

That said, I think I’d like ANY undergrad experience anywhere more if I knew then what I do now.[b] I should’ve prioritized having fun more than I did. [/b]Youth is wasted on the young![/quote]

If you prioritized having more fun in undergrad, you probably wouldn't have gotten into Yale Med. [/quote]
