Well, not really Ivy League. Due to the popularity of the Yale vs. Stanford poll, I wanted to compare those two fine institutions to Harvard. This is a POLL, so please, no long-winded explanations.

Two questions:

HARVARD OR STANFORD

HARVARD OR YALE

I'll start:
Stanford
Yale

Yale's winning because everyone likes to see #1 fall.

Nope, Yale's winning because it provides a better undergraduate education. If this was a graduate school poll, results would prolly be much different. ;P

I don't understand this thread.

Why are you discussion the relative merits of Stanford, Harvard, and Yale, while ignoring the best American University.

Why has no one mentioned Princeton?

By Voigtrob (Voigtrob) on Sunday, February 15, 2004 - 03:19 pm: Edit

B/c the question wasn't about Princeton. ;P

If Princeton were in question however, IMO it beats all. ;P

yale

for this poll, i chose yale over harvard only because when i went to visit they gave me boatloads of yale junk for free!!!!! but i actually chose to attend harvard over yale, partly because of parental pressure...and partly because harvard seemed more 'presigious' to me at the time...but i still have my yale shirts! lol
