While I thank you for your concern about my sanity, I’m perfectly in control of my faculties. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Look, I attended an elite private for undergrad. It was great. As a grad student, I’m at a larger public. It’s pretty awesome too. As far as I can tell, there is very little difference in academic quality between the two. I realize that you’re still an undergrad at Penn and don’t have much basis for comparison.</p>
<p>If you wanted to argue that the undergraduate experience is different, I would agree. Students at Yale get a lot more hand-holding. They have greater access to career counselors, pre-graduate and pre-professional advising, and administrators whose sole job is to churn out undergraduate fellowship winners. I don’t think I ever denied that Yale was arguably the better choice for undergrad. In fact, I specifically noted the difference between “better” and “academically stronger.” Is Yale better at the undergrad level? Quite possibly. Is it academically stronger? Absolutely not.</p>
