[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you pick Berkeley over Harvard Yale and Princeton for CS?  [/quote]

If CS is what your child definitely wants to do and its a good fit. Yes  [/quote]

My kid chose Berkeley over Caltech and Yale for CS.[/quote]

If in-state, that makes sense.  [/quote]

He was a TJ grad.[/quote]

Yale is not exactly a CS or tech powerhouse so it's between Caltech and UCB.  Comes down to fit, I guess.  I'm assuming he got into EECS. [/quote]

For that TJ student, that was the rational decision, even if it was L&S, for CS. For MET and EECS, even more so. EECS is such a tough admit (sub 5% acceptance rates with no second choice possible) and MET even lower.
But Yale is such a special experience to forego so I'm sure some tears were shed on decision day.

These type of choices occur each year between a specialized "fit" and a liberal arts destination. Over the last few years, at TJ, majority x-admits to Harvard/MIT and Harvard/Stanford have gone on to MIT and Stanford.
