<p>My D was in your exact situation a year ago: accepted to both Yale and Stanford. So we hopped on the airplanes in April and visited first Yale’s admitted student days and then Stanfords. When we visited Yale it was cold and rainy. While D had an OK time at on the visit, she wasn’t absolutely convinced that she should attend. Her Mother and I, on the other hand, were extremely impressed with the college. We then visited Admitted Student Days at Stanford and D knew by the end of the visit that Palo Alto was the place for her. She absolutely loved it. My wife and son are actually flying out in the morning for a visit. If you can possibly visit both schools on their admitted student days, you’ll have a much better “feel” for each school. While D would have probably had a good experience at YALE, she is having a great experience at Stanford. Visit if you can.</p>
