Cghiru, I had brought my son up for a program at Yale, and that night we ate dinner at a local eatery. Next to us were a dozen students (plus or minus their friends who dropped by for a few minutes). That was the moment when I thought seriously of my son applying.

One of my flaws is that I eavesdrop, or as I prefer to say, “people watch.” It was a clearly intelligent and engaged crowd, comfortable with each other and their wit, and they seemed like a bunch of kids that I would love for my son to spend 4 years with.

Granted, they might be the only 12 students like that at Yale, but I don’t think so.
