<p>^^ wow, your vehemence is somewhat surprising.</p>
<p>Yale > Stanford for undergrad focus.</p>
<p>Stanford now has 20,000 students and 2x the # grads as undergrads, not to mention it’s a major research university. It’s hesitant to add 200 undergrads but has no qualms about adding 2,000 grads. I think it’s safe to say that Yale will probably give a more personal undergrad education.</p>
<p>I think you’re one of the few people who really thinks the difference of a few spots really matters. In addition, all your data is for grad school. And even then, it doesn’t matter a whole lot, since Yale has a much larger endowment than Stanford and has fewer students, so it can spend much more on them.</p>
<p>At any rate, given the direction this discussion is going, this thread is pointless.</p>
