When writing your messages, please use the same courtesy that you would show when speaking face-to-face with someone. Flames, insults, and personal attacks will not be tolerated. It’s fine to disagree with opinions, ideas, and facts, but always with respect for the other person.

“Dimwit” is not exactly complying with the TOS.



yunmoonc:

but i feel like yale has a wow factor that penn lacks.

Then apply SCEA to Yale and be done with it. You seem like you’d regret not applying if you don’t, and the average candidate has at least a very small chance of getting in SCEA as opposed to almost no chance of getting in RD. ED is intended for candidates with a distinct first choice, moreover, and that is clearly not you.

As a tip for the future, you’ll probably get less irritable posts if you don’t imply that being accepted to one of the best universities in the world is settling for a second-rate education. You are correct that everyone is entitled to his own opinions and values, but Saiyans is equally correct that most college grads (heck, most people 20+) would roll their eyes at the perceptions of prestige that are so important to many high schoolers.
