<p>....no matter how old the article....</p>
<p>Yalies keep trying to tell themselves that! </p>
<p>See: "Second Best is Far Better" - <a href="http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=26996%5B/url%5D">http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=26996</a></p>
<p>hahaha i think cc'ers have seen both those articles thousands of times...</p>
<p>Second Best according to mass public perception.
As we have seen, the American public isn't to trust with decisions of such substance :)</p>
<p>Much parallels the election of our president.......</p>
<p>Byerly (<a href="http://www.mongobarn.nu/20000122/47-geek.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://www.mongobarn.nu/20000122/47-geek.jpg</a>), you should consider leaving your dorm room some time.</p>
<p>just thought i would remind all of you where Yale ranks as far as HYP goes...</p>
<p>would you like another....</p>
<p>For your first link, any ranking that puts Duke 31st, below UToronto, and the University of Washington-Seatlle is highly suspect. And to say that Brown is worse than Penn State and the University of Arizona, is frankly, absurd.</p>
<p>Your second link, as far as rankings go, is valid. </p>
<p>Your last link, a ranking of "prestige" is by the author's own admission, "subjective". In fact, the authors actually classify a school's "resources" as something not included in the ranking, and a factor that students should investigate themselves in deciding a school. </p>
<p>A good ranking, I believe is the Revealed Preferences one, which Byerly has rubbed in everyone's faces numerous times. Here, Harvard is first, Princeton and Yale somewhere behind (I won't say which came ahead between thse two, because it likely doesn't matter.)</p>
<p>Check your sources first. Your google searches for any ranking in which Yale comes out low is childish. Are you a Yale reject? Irregardless, take a step back and tell yourself to think a little. Princeton is an absolutely amazing school school, and you should definitely look forward to going there.</p>
<p>you had me til irregardless</p>
<p>do you mean 'til ?</p>

<p>I dont know about you. But here in so-kal, Yale indeed ranks far lower than Harvard. For what it's worth, the general perception of prestige is as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>HARVARD</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>harvard</li>
<li>Stanford, MIT</li>
<li>Berkeley, Yale, Columbia, Caltech, Princeton</li>
</ol>
<p>Need I say more :rolleyes:</p>
<p>lol please do NOT say more. </p>
<p>If you read my post correctly, which you evidently did NOT, you would have seen that I acknowledged that Harvard ranked higher.</p>
<p>Are you from southern kalifornia? You better work on that if you want to go to college. :-)</p>
<p>Yup Reprezenting So-KAL & Diamond Bar
haukim-homie come down here i will show u around :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Let me tell you that no true Southern Californian would ever butcher our great region with a travesty of a spelling like "So-KAL."</p>
<p>Heh, let's be honest - there's no difference in the 'prestige' of Harvard and Yale. They're mentioned in the same sentence in nearly every WSJ article I read. If Harvard has to be #1, let 'em have it. I'll take the "#2" spot and be happier in the spooky ghetto of New Haven where Byerly is scared to tread, but where we can walk around during admit weekend at 2 AM.</p>
<p>"Well, I say let Harvard have its football and academics. Yale will always be first in gentlemanly club life. "
Wise words from C. Montgomery Burns.
:P</p>
<p>though on occasion, known to deliver an offensive line, Montgomery"knuckles' Byerly ain't afraid to travel nowhere cuz he goes about with a bunch of offensive linesmen,..watching his back so to speak. Ya got a problem with that?</p>
