"And Yale et al will no longer be the be-all-end-all. "

The truth is it’s not even now. People just feel it is – and this perception is sometimes very important – but I posit that it’s artificial.

Being an alum who loved his time there, I’m amazed at some of the misconceptions of Yale that exist. It was a highlight of my life but not the only one.

Will my straight A, super athletic, super involved daughter be accepted to Yale in 4 years? Who knows? Will I be sad if not? No cuz I know the numbers are against her. I know she’ll do fine wherever she goes to college, has a great character and work ethic. That’s what’s important. Not the college that confers a diploma to you.
