Yale & Politics

[GeorgeS]

<p>

remember, your initial point was that yale college is the “dominant[<em>]undergrad[</em>] force.” the above statement, however, is only true if you include yale <em>law</em> grads like ford and clinton.

</p>

<p>So lets count the Harvard College grads, then. Yale College is obviously still the “winner” in this race, even if slightly. </p>

<p>

GeorgeS: Harvard Law has a much bigger class size (550) than Yale Law (220). Once you control for class size, the difference is nil.

</p>

<p>Your observation is certainly correct, however, Harvard Law still comes out ahead when you adjust. Besides, how much good does the “well, Yale is smaller” argument do you when you’re in the US Senate and you need as many alumni contacts as possible? </p>

<p>Draw your own conclusions. Mine is that when it comes to American politics, Yale College dominates in the undergrad department and Harvard Law dominates in the Grad department (even if other schools come incredibly close).</p>
