any reason to attend yale over harvard/stanford/mit?

I think it depends on what you want to major in. We have visited all four schools. My impression of Harvard is that there may be a lot of focus on it’s world famous graduate programs that detract from the undergraduate side. Perhaps that’s unfair or a misperception on my part but that is what I felt. Stanford and MIT are about Silicon Valley and the sciences. If you are a history major, you would be better served going to Yale
