I didn’t say OP was sassy. The person that said what I would consider is a somewhat “rude” comment.

Here’s the thing, literally everyone knows Yale is a good school. Saying “it’s just a brand name” in the context of this situation really isn’t knocking Yale. I read it in the context of the comparison between the two. I think both are great schools and are very comparable. Yale may have the famous professors because of the name (and vice versa), but when it comes down to comparing them, I really think Yale just has the brand name which does give it more weight than Haverford.

I think it ultimately comes down to great fit as well, but honestly, I truly believe that Yale gives you more expansive opportunities. I’ve worked in a recruiting offices where people have said they only want candidates from ivies + Stanford which is absolutely ridiculous. Also, I’m from the south and people here have no idea what Haverford is unless he/she went there, works in college sphere of education, is familiar with NE schools, etc. For me, it comes down to happiness because that’s where someone will succeed the best he/she can. There are 1000s of wonderful colleges/unis in the U.S. I do hope OP finds the “best fit” but I still don’t find the question “less serious”. It’s a genuine question that even “adults” have.
