[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am an alum and I loved my time at Yale. It changed my life.

Would I recommend it? That would really depend on the kid. Yale is a VERY intense and competitive place. I think this is the case even more so today than when I attended more than two decades ago. It can be a heaven or hell experience depending on the kid. That said, in my 4 years there I recall only 2-3 classmates that did not like being at Yale. [/quote]

I attended Yale in the mid-2000s, so 20ish years ago. I LOVED it. I actually didn't think it was particularly intense or competitive at all (and I did very well there). I was super involved in an extracurricular (and less involved in many others) and made life long friends. It set me on both my personal and professional paths and I was happy basically the entire time. I don't know what more you could ask for in a school. By the way, I know I sound like a massive booster, but... that was really my experience! I will say that I am a fairly optimistic/go-with-the-flow person and so this many have been my experience at many colleges. I was also academically very well prepared (just in the sense of my HS being excellent and both more competitive and intense than Yale), so that may affect how competitive or intense I found it.
