Thanks, @ewho—I definitely understand how difficult a decision this must have been! Yale does a very good, and very consistent, job of communicating what it has to offer—in my opinion, the best job of all the schools my son is considering. That doesn’t mean that Yale is a better school than any of the others—just that it’s marketing is exceptionally persuasive. It’s good to hear that things ended up working out well for your son at Stanford—for a potential CS student to choose anywhere else (other than, say, places like MIT or Carnegie Mellon) is very hard. Did your son ever regret not attending Yale, and if so, why?

@aleaiactaest Thanks, too—though my son isn’t planning to major in political science, the additional information about the tech scene and atmosphere at Stanford is very helpful.
