<p>yale. definitly.</p>
<p>Yale fo shizzle.</p>
<p>Stanford . . . CA is far away from Arkansas, I love the climate, and they have the major I want. I also would like to spend the rest of my days in CA . . . . woops, I've already posted. :P</p>
<p>Yale becuz it kicks the other schools' asses hands down.</p>
<p>Princeton.
Cause the name sounds the coolest, because their financial aid is unbeatable, because their campus is absolutely gorgeous, because their undergraduate focus is excellent.
And because I'm going there.</p>
<p>No, Yale's name is better, because when someone asks where I'm going and I say "Uh, Yale", they wonder what IEL is ;)</p>
<p>yale's name's not better. </p>
<p>i'd choose harvard grad school.</p>
<p>all undergrad schools suck</p>
<p>"16 Current U.S. Supreme Court Justices 6 2 1 1"</p>
<p>Your sources are right but how did you count? Only Law school? Law school and undergrad? But if only law school, Princeton should be 0 because the only person who went there (Alito) went there for undergrad (Pton doesn't have a law school...). But in terms of Supreme Court Justices: Rehnquist, O'Connor, Kennedy, Breyer (almost half of SCOTUS before the shake-up of the past year or so) all received some of their education at Stanford. Kennedy and Breyer remain sitting on the Court and so the statistic should be, if updated, at least 2. (I believe both went there for undergrad. Only Rehnquist and O'Connor went to Stanford both for law and undergrad.)</p>
<p>Plus, I think you should factor in for everything the fact that Stanford is the "youngest" of all these schools.</p>
<p>On a purely academic basis: Yale. Also b/c best in what I want to study.</p>
<p>On a holistic basis: Stanford. For a lot of personal reasons like church and yes, the proximity to San Fran and Berkeley (which I love as a city!)</p>
<p>Princeton- pretty much excellent in every field. Some of the top math and physics programs in the country. Focus on undergraduates. Probably the best all-around education and experience you could get as an undergraduate. East coast/far away from here. Oh, and of course, it has the coolest-sounding name of any university. "Where did you go to college?" "PRINCEton....PrinceTON". Just say it....so smooth. hehehe. Unfortunately I got waitlisted, and probably won't get in. :( And since Princeton accepts no transfers....there goes that dream.</p>
<p>Princeton.</p>
<p>All those "elitist" and "exclusive" rumors are crap. 40 year old crap.</p>
<p>Yale. Gorgeous campus--beats that of Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton (albeit the latter by a lesser margin). Undergraduate focus. Ludicrous funding for undergraduate research. Research opportunities. Biggest and bestest dorms. Residential college system. And best of all, the happiest students you could ever find.</p>
<p>I agree with the above post, I would choose Yale</p>
<p>ginny weasley, you must be talking about stanford. lol.</p>
<p>Of those, I would choose Harvard, which I did, yea class of 2010. Well anyway, causing I hate the eating clubs at Princeton as well as the heavy amount of legacies at Yale, and I didn't apply to Stanford. So when I chose b/w the three, it was easy enough to say Harvard :).</p>

<p>Yale's "heavy amount of legacies" is about the same as at Harvard and Princeton.</p>
<p>No, I'm fully aware of that, but I've talked to at least five alumni, and the first thing all of them told me was legacies this and that, so it just seems to me that Yale is more open about it.</p>

</p>
<p>And how does Yale being "more open about it" make the school less desirable than another school that won't readily admit its partiality for legacies (Harvard)? Yale students aren't any snobbier than Harvard students just because Yale is more open about its practice of admitting legacies.</p>
<p>Look, just b/c Yale was on the top of your list, doesn't mean you need to give me crap, this is a board of personal opinions and speculations. I'm just saying when I visited all three (not Stanford), I just didn't enjoy the atmosphere nor the students that were attending that's all.</p>
<p>I'm not trying to "give you crap," nor am I saying that you're not entitled to your personal opinions about the three schools. Rather, I'm posing a valid question because I don't follow your reasoning regarding the admission of legacies.</p>
<p>It was just a feeling I got when there as well as many alumni telling me specifically on legacies at Yale. And when I chose which school to attend, I merely when on extinct, and I just knew that I wouldn't feel comfortable at Yale.</p>
