<p>Hey, thanks for your message.</p>
<p>Here is what I like about Yale: Alumni. History. Drive for performance and excellence. Intellectual stimulation. </p>
<p>I did do my research, and am looking at CUNY. I am sure if I wanted to I could get what I wanted from Yale out of CUNY. Also, being in New York, I could try to land a job/internship at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Council on Foreign Relations, UN, local Masonic lodge, etc. The experiences/connections I listed earlier can be made to help me get to NY and succeed. I would also be in much closer proximity to the world’s financial and diplomatic power center.</p>
<p>At the same time, it is news like this that makes me depressed: [Brown</a> and Cornell Are Second Tier - Percolator - The Chronicle of Higher Education](<a href=“http://chronicle.com/blogs/percolator/brown-and-cornell-are-second-tier/27565]Brown”>Percolator: Brown and Cornell Are Second Tier)</p>
