<p>I’m torn about the prestige issue.</p>
<p>I’m deciding between P and S. I love them both, I loved Pton’s admit weekend and am sure I’ll enjoy S’s as well. Fortunately, they are both unbelievable in IR/public policy/economic/math, so I can’t go wrong with my academic interests either. I think that although they are different socially, I would fit in at either.</p>
<p>Then there’s prestige. I hear that Stanford is considered a more popular place to apply (just because people love it), but everyone seems to say that Princeton is more prestigious, the only three schools people know about outside of the US are HYP, etc.</p>
<p>How do they compare in the US and abroad? Because I live on the West Coast, Stanford and HYP are very popular. But how are they viewed in comparison elsewhere?</p>
