[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Most students with choice would take Harvard for alumni power, Princeton for smaller undergrad program, MIT for STEM and Stanford for silicone valley over Yale any given day.[/quote]

My own kid chose between HYP (in at all) and chose Yale.  Hated H because it feels like a tourist attraction.  Didn’t want to live in CA.  Two friends rejected H/P for Yale as well. So, not sure what evidence supports your claim that “most students with choice” would take others besides Yale. In my world, that just isn’t true.[/quote]

My child was admitted to both Yale and Harvard and chose Yale over Harvard. It was a very close call. Some kids choose Yale, others Stanford or Harvard or Princeton or MIT. All incredible choices each with a different flavor. HYPSM are still the standard bearers.[/quote]

Yep. I chose Yale over Stanford. A friend was waitlisted at Yale and got into Harvard. Chose Yale when she got in off the waitlist. I'm sure others chose Harvard and Stanford over Yale. These schools are all excellent. It's also about the fit, which is different for each student. [/quote]

My college roommate at Princeton turned down Harvard for Princeton, and didn't apply to Yale.  Yes, different fits for different students.  [/quote]
