[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am east coaster who went to a big three, so if you're looking to get into that mentality: I applied to Yale only because my sibling had gone there and my father and grandfather went there for grad school and of Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, Yale was considered the most liberal. I didn't consider applying to Princeton because I considered it country clubbish with its eating clubs etc and more likely to skew Republican. I didn't consider Harvard because I had the impression it was more Republican - that was probably not true and a dumb reason not to apply. But Harvard wasn't in my family tradition so I just didn't think about applying, really. I do think people back then tended to apply to Yale but not necessarily Harvard and vice versa for reasons like mine above.

I bet today top performers are more likely to just apply to all three or at least two and see what happens.[/quote]

I just read some of the other posts and yes I remember my Dad saying Harvard did not focus on undergrads enough and thus he was eh about me applying to Harvard. He mildly encouraged me to apply to Princeton because he thought they did focus on undergrads. But that is true of Yale as well.[/quote]
