What basis do you have for making a statement like that? Have you met every person that has gone to Yale and can testify that “You do not hear Yalies saying things like that”? I believe you’re just talking about cross admits between Harvard and Yale. If a student is choosing between Yale and the University of Michigan, a lot of the student’s friends/acquaintances will be saying “OF COURSE YALE, it’s Yale”. Is that not a “superior statement”? This notion that the Yale student body is a lot mor “down to earth” and “friendly” than its Harvard counterpart is ridiculous. Both schools select students from the same academic mold so there’s no reason why there would be such a disparity. One thing’s for sure, if constant threads like this on the Yale forum is any indication, there is a definite Harvard inferiority complex at Yale.</p>
