Congrats on all the great choices! When I had a decision to make between Harvard and Stanford (back in the Middle Ages 
), I was so undecided for the longest time, right up until I had to mail back the card. I just knew one day finally when I had a feeling about it and burst into tears talking to my teacher who had gone to Stanford because I had decided in my heart that I was going to Harvard. So maybe that happens one way or another for your son. Admitted students days should help. I donât even know if we had that back then. Then if he wants to, he can do what I did and pick the other one for grad school! 
Congrats to all of you new admits. My son never got off the waitlist 2 years ago, and he is happily thriving at UCLA and canât imagine anything different or better. So to those of you on the waitlist, my advice is to love the schools that love you back. You will bloom wherever you plant yourself!

wow. thatâs impressive. my daughter is a ânormalâ and got waitlisted so I told her she was in an impressive group. they had to love a lot about her essays and interview then. i think itâs Hâs loss bc sheâs a cool, kind and mature person youâd want on any campus.
If you applied REA to Yale because it was your favorite, has anything changed?
I imagine cost will be similar.
Hello, everyone! I hope everyone has been receiving good news over the past few weeks. Congratulations to all.
I was accepted to all the Ivies, Duke, and a few other T20s. I am stuck between Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Please help me decide which one to pick! And if you have a convincing argument for one of the other schools I got into, please please share!!!
I am going to be studying some combination of Econ/CS/Applied Math. Also, I am very serious about music and plan to play in the orchestra at whichever school I attend in the fall.
Thanks for any and all input. Congrats to all!!!
Hi! We should DM and meet up! Harvardâs is April 23-24 I believe.

Not sure where youâre going with thisâŠyou posted this a half hour before Duke RD decisions even came out, and if you got in ED, you wouldnât be asking this question. Not trying to be rude, I just find your statement somewhat difficult to believe given the selectivity of the schools you mentioned and the timing of your comment.

I was sent a likely letter to Duke two weeks ago. I was accepted officially tonight.

As you can imagine, it is very active right now and you should be able to get more input.
Edited: Never mind, I see you have already done that. Good luck!
WOW! Congrats!
My daughter is class of 2025 at Harvard and had the same hard choice between Harvard or Yale. Itâs such a personal preference. Best of luck with the decision!

Is she happy at Harvard? They say that the living conditions at Harvard for the freshman are very poor, and the food is awful. Do you agree?
Thatâs not true at all.

Really depends on your major and personality. All three are the same level- including MIT and Princeton.
