[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Yale sounds like a truly horrific place to me. Please don’t let your kids apply! The acceptance rate is too low already  :lol: [/quote]

+1  :D

I wish nonsense like this would turn people away. Yale is my kid’s dream school! [/quote]

To be honest, crime concerns and lack of STEM strength [i]have[/i] turned people and away and pushed Yale to the bottom of HYPSM, and I’ve seen more than a few posters just using HPSM to refer to the best schools (HPSM are equally strong in humanities and STEM and have “the best of both worlds”).[/quote]

Reality: no one says HPSM except trolls trying to boost lower Ivies. [/quote]

I didn’t go to any of these schools, but I’m sick of the Yale, Columbia and UChicago bashing. It’s so stupid. [/quote]

No one that matters in the real world would ever bash these schools.  Only anonymous trolls on this website would say such things.  Everyone would include Yale among the most elite and uber prestigious universities in the world.  Period.  No relative rankings would change this perception.  The same goes with Columbia.  Silly season is upon us.[/quote]

Not so sure about that.  Reputations rise, and reputations fall.

[/quote]. Indeed they do but over the course of generations, not within the span of a year or two.  Yale has been a preeminent university in the US for the past 300+ years.  Columbia for the past 250+ years...  Basing a schools reputation built over the course of centuries on recent rankings is a silly exercise to sell magazines.  It says more about the insecurities of the people who rely on them than anything about the schools themselves.  [/quote]

You can’t take anything on this listserve seriously. This is not the site for serious discussion among experts.
Comments that you are referring to just make me laugh because they tend to be bs and completely moronic [/quote]
