<p>thanks everyone, especially phoenixy!</p>
<p>Nice comparison, Phoenixy. But I must say, seeing some of the differences makes me glad I'm going to go to Yale.</p>
<p>^haha to byerly's article</p>
<p>so funny.. i completely agree. that is what i always say.. the people who don't really care are the ones who are truly 'better.' take UT vs A&M. that is a HUGE rivalry in texas. Aggies are CONSTANTLY ragging on UT. they call it "TU" (because that's so much worse) and they don't even have the IV roman numeral on their clocks because it looks like "TU" from far away. they instead use IIII. </p>
<p>the one who is constantly screaming about the other's inferiority is usually the "inferior" one. </p>
<p>anyways. haha. i like yale and harvard both. rock on. =]</p>
<p>sounds like yale is better than harvard in many ways...how come you didn't post this, phoenix, a week ago?? my interviewer for yale seriously asked me the question "what do you think is the difference between yale and harvard" and i'm like...yea i gave a very stupid answer. then he told me(he went to both), "there's no difference."</p>
<p>ummm..... Heidi, almost all clocks or watches that use roman numerals use IIII to denote 4 instead of IV. If that's the story the Aggies claim, they're just making stuff up.</p>
<p>Hah, well, Yale doesn't weight interviews heavily at all in the admissions process, so don't worry.</p>
<p>I am a Yalie at heart; maybe that's why I unconsciously made Yale sound better. They are, after all, financing my Harvard education, so I can't hate 'em too much.</p>
<p>wait, you're a yalie at heart but you go to harvard?! </p>
<p>does harvard weigh interviews heavily at all ?</p>
<p>Yeah. To sum up (i.e. oversimplify) both why I love Yale and why I go to Harvard in four words: I'm from New Haven.</p>
<p>Harvard does consider the interview to be an important element of the application.</p>
<p>The recent NYT Education Life section actually had a chart that summarizes how much different top-tier schools weight different parts of the application. I don't really know where they got the data from, or what exactly it means for a school to not consider at all a student's talent, but here's the link:
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/education/edlife/index.html?8dpc%5B/url%5D">http://www.nytimes.com/pages/education/edlife/index.html?8dpc</a>
(The chart link is the third item in the multimedia column.)</p>
<p>phoenix, what if my H interviewer and I did not click at all, then he wrote an incredibly generic report that reveals absolutely nothing about my personality(he seriously transferred stuffs from my resume)? The report says nothing bad about me. NO. it says <em>nothing</em> about me. </p>
<p>what would H do in this case? a 2nd interview?</p>

<p>I don't know. Maybe Byerly or NSM will weigh in?</p>
