First of all…did you get into both schools? The odds are you got into MIT EA and still waiting on Stanford’s regular decision results (they don’t come out until March 28 most likely) since you are posting on MIT thread…or I may have reversed it…and you are awaiting MIT results…

…this question is all MOOT before you have the “golden tickets” in HAND…because the odds of applicants getting into Stanford or MIT during the regular round is outrageously LOW.

…there will be dozens upon dozens of students posting similar threads (X vs Y) once ALL the decisions are in after the March carnage…why don’t you wait until then…

…and then you can post this same question in a more objective fashion under “College Search and Selection” to get less-partisan individuals to post responses…because if you post this question here on MIT forum you will get certain biased answers and you will get completely different biased answers on the Stanford forum…it’s human nature…

…because NO ONE can have spent 4 full years on both campuses as a “college” student to give you true pros and cons of both institutions…just not possible. And graduate school/professional school experiences at either institution is NOT the same experience…no matter what people try to say.

…regardless…the ultimate decision will be made by YOU.

…hope this helps.
