Hey @nondescript1, I know this thread is old but I’m wondering if you could share your matriculation choice. As a fellow Class of '20 Harvard-Yale cross admit (and one who ultimately chose Yale), I’d really love to know where you’ll be heading and how you felt about the whole admittedly (pun, get it ) grueling process.
@astroknot It looks like we’re classmates now! I ultimately chose Yale as well. It ultimately came down to my feelings when I visited both schools again. I felt that I could definitely find happiness at Harvard, but Yale just felt right immediately. Both schools would have given me more opportunities than I could possibly explore in 4 years. As my biology teacher put it “it’s like choosing between chocolate cake and vanilla cake.” To be quite honest, I realized that the differences between the schools were merely academic, while the differences between my reactions to them respectively were not. In the end I wanted to have my cake and eat it too, so I did.
@nondescript1 Thanks for the update! Couldn’t agree more with your words on the choice. See ya round next year
Congratulations on being accepted into two of the best colleges in the world! It seems that you are leaning more towards Yale in your statement, but whichever choice you make will be a good choice.
