<p>I think it just really depends. They’re both really strong and you practically can’t go wrong choosing either or. Yale is a top Ivy, and only slightly lesser known than Harvard. It’s strong in many departments, having a great Humanities program and reportedly sending ~95% of its (premed) students to Medical school. </p>
<p>Stanford is growing rapidly. Now claiming the lowest acceptance rate and having top programs in all departments across the board, its quickly becoming the dream school of millions of students. If you want to go into things like programming or engineering, I strongly suggest Stanford. </p>
<p>It really just depends on what you want to do. I can (almost) guarantee that Stanford will be more and more known in just a short amount of time. Both schools have powerful connections, which I’m assuming is what you want.</p>
