<p>Pacificbreeze, I’m glad your daughter found her fit and passion at Yale. Good for her. I have no doubt most kids will be happy at the school of their own choice. Last year, my friends were unhappy about the way their kid was persuaded to matriculate. When I saw your post about persuasion letters and support groups, I couldn’t help make a comment. </p>
<p>When I talked about the location, I did not refer to safety cioncerns, but rather a city vs college town feel. In terms of prestige, I really feel H and Y are pretty on par with each other. I do believe the choice between these two great institutions have more to do with the location and specific field of concentration.</p>
