<p>I was so fortunate and lucky to have been accepted into Huntsman, Yale (SCEA and Harvard. But I have no idea which one to choose, they're all so great! I really like Yale and have had the most exposure to it, I really like Harvard and Penn as well but the Huntsman Progam is exactly what I want to study. However, I like Yale as a school more than Penn. I don't know what to do, what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Tell us more about what you like at Yale vs. Penn, and we can help you more I feel.</p>
<p>ya dont go to harvard, its not like its the best or anything</p>
<p>Harvard has the best name, but to say it is better at Yale or Penn’s Hunstman at the undergraduate level can’t be done. This is especially true if Yale or Penn fit the student better or offer what the student wants to study.</p>
<p>Honestly, once you’re up at that level, I truly believe it’s more of which school you think fits you better. </p>
<p>From what you’ve said, Yale seems to be what you’re after.</p>
<p>You are truly a special person 
Congrats on your acceptances!</p>
<p>If I were you I would look at what programs/areas interest you the most (sports, your specific major, study abroad, $$$, city, nearby internship oppurtunities, dorms, etc.), and then figure out which college has the best collection of those
so based off my impressions:
Harvard-prestige, boston, academics
Yale-a little more fun, more balanced/relaxed
Huntsman-great combination majors program (I’m applying next year since I want both majors anyway XD), Philly, great resources (since there are so few of you, the UPenn gives you preferential treatment)</p>
<p>Obviously you can’t go wrong with those three! Good luck :)</p>
<p>I would definitely say Yale or Penn. They offer more wholesome undergraduate experiences. I personally would say Yale, but that’s just me</p>
<p>To the OP, will you be visiting Penn during Penn Previews and Yale during Bulldog Days?</p>
<p>visit and see how it feels. My friend last year had the same problem (got in EVERYWHERE), narrowed it down to Harvard and Huntsman, and in the end, after visiting, chose Huntsman. He really likes it but it’s also a lot of work (he’s also taking 6 classes bc he’s learning portuguese on top of spanish for some reason…craaazy guy haha).</p>
<p>what language would you target?</p>
<p>the difference is so negligible at that level…ultimately, all three schools can lead to the same outcome…so go with fit.</p>
<p>Thanks for all of your help so far, everybody. I am going to go visit all three at their revisit programs, I haven’t visited either Harvard or Penn since summer 2007 (I couldn’t do college visits the summer after my Junior year) but I’ve been to Yale 3 times and loved it everytime. Obviously I’ve had more experience with Yale but I don’t want to rule out the other two because of that. If I were to do the Huntsman, my target language would be French which is what I put on my application (though I could change to Spanish because I’ve taken them both for the same period of time and got the exact same score on the SAT II).</p>
<p>You Huntsman kids always amaze me with your polyglot skillz…(I hear recruiters are rather enamored as well!)</p>
<p>they’re all incredibly prestigious. go to the one you think you’ll enjoy the most. unless your main concern is being in a powerful position as an adult, in which case there is only one Harvard.</p>
<p>To the poster above: Yale alumni are quite a bit more likely to be in positions of power than Harvard alumni. Loren Pope actually did several extensive studies of this. </p>
<p>But yes, the posters above are correct: your best bet as an individual is to go to the school where you will be happiest and have the highest quality of interaction with other students and faculty, as well as the greatest opportunities. That is where you will thrive. Yale is significantly smaller, denser and more intimate, so tends to be much more collegial in terms of interaction (walk around and you can see it-- David Brooks has written a whole article about it actually). Classes are tiny and students get to know their professors very well, since often they live down the street. It seems to me that at Penn and Harvard, professors have long commutes and large classes to teach, so don’t care as much to hang around with the students. Hope you can visit each for 2-3 days, sit in on tons of classes at each, see how happy everyone is, eat in the dining halls, hang out with students,ask them what opportunities they have had, and decide what’s best for yourself. </p>
<p>People have different preferences but don’t base yours on what you hear, actually go and spend some real time investigating for yourself.</p>
<p>I’m visiting each school for 2 days so I think that will give me the best insight on which school I’ll choose. Thanks once again to everybody, this has been so helpful.</p>
