[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS got into Yale early, and still applied to 7 other schools RD because Yale was not necessarily the dream, just the right combination of seeming more reachable for STEM (compared to HPSM early), non-binding, and being a school that DS visited and liked. When it was all said and done DS ended up at Duke.[/quote]

As a parent of a STEM kid who is considering both Yale and Duke, can you tell us your DS decided to go to Duke?  Was it between Duke and Yale at the end or were they deciding between Duke and another school?[/quote]

Sure! It came down to Yale, UPenn, and Duke. Visited all three for admitted students events, and decided on Duke a few days before the deadline. Think the extended visits to each school solidified in DS’s mind what the right school was. For reference my DS is studying math and physics (would have been applied math at Yale).[/quote]

Do any of your son's high school friends still talk to him?[/quote]

Because they can't tolerate that this student  is trying to decide between Yale, upen n and Duke, they will no longer talk to the student?   Who needs friends like that?[/quote]
