<p>If you want to post a chance thread, post a chance thread.
But there’s no reason for juniors to post threads asking where they should go, especially if they plan on applying to both. Wait until you get your acceptance letters to start deciding that.</p>

<p>Definitely apply to both.</p>

<p>Oh for goodness sakes, can anyone help this person out or not?</p>

<p>Young people and parents post looking for information and opinions. To my knowledge, there are no rules on when you can start comparing schools. So the original poster wants opinions on Brown vs Yale. Does anyone have any thoughts?</p>

<p>I agree with the last post. Apply to both these fine schools.</p>

<p>@ Weston, OP indicated that, for unstated reasons, he knew enough about Brown and Yale that they were his top choices. He didn’t ask for a validation/verification of that, he asked for us to tell him which one of the two should be his top choice. Which is immaterial until he is accepted to both, unless he’s trying to pick where he should apply early. And he gave no indication of that either. That being said, I think your sentiment is appropriate for other threads where kids post legitimate questions and can’t get a single valuable response. I just don’t think that’s the case here.<br>
@OP, I agree with the both of them, definitely apply to both and see what happens.</p>

<p>Imo, Uf is more like a match than a safety</p>
