Vandy (full ride) or Yale or Dartmouth
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 14th, 2008 7:33 PM Author: Sadistic friendly grandma That's my dilemma. Also have a full ride at my state's flagship (UMich.)
Any input? |
 |
Date: April 14th, 2008 7:33 PM Author: Sick White Faggot Firefighter I'm at Dartmouth now and I love it. If I were in your situation, I would probably go Yale, but I suppose it really depends on personal taste.
Is financial aid going to be a deciding factor? Did you visit all three? |

A) You're real big on the outdoors, then Dartmouth B) You're real strapped for cash, then Vanderbilt |

But if you're really getting a full ride at Vandy, then take it and enjoy the wide variety of lovely southern belles. |

The guy has a free ride to a school where the nations hottest women flock and the parties run all night. Not that Dartmouth isn't a party school but it's also an icebox. Vandy all the way, unless he can find some way to pay for Yale. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=799056&forum_id=1#9628773) |

Date: April 16th, 2008 6:26 AM Author: embarrassed to the bone dragon set hottest girls that are um, somewhat intelligent most marriageable i'd definitely pick vandy girls over UF girls.
that said, i know a girl from HS who turned down 23 of top 24 schools (only rejection from yale, all other accepted) and went to BC full ride. partied for 4 years and now at Yale Med School. that was her plan all along, too.
but college is more than just a gateway to jobs and grad schools. it's also an experience. and while parties and girls and good weather at Vandy are certainly attractive, so are the caliber of people you will meet at Dartmouth and Yale (no offense to Vandy, but definitely in a different class).
and uh, you gotta admit. the people at Yale are also of a different class than those at Dartmouth. I'm a D alum, and I loved the school, and I know some great dudes, but ain't none of my classmates gonna lead the free world or nothing. |

Date: April 17th, 2008 1:23 PM Author: Sick White Faggot Firefighter I would rather be an intelligent rich professional than a stupid politician. Oh, and I think Dr. Seuss trumps all! |
|
Date: April 18th, 2008 9:49 PM Author: embarrassed to the bone dragon set right, because yale does not produce intelligent rich professionals and dartmouth does not produce stupid people (i don't think we do too much politics). hey, dartmouth has graduated me, and that's a shame enough. |

Date: April 16th, 2008 10:26 AM Author: bearded claret crotch piazza If you want hotter girls that are equal as "marriageable" as Vandy girls look to UCLA, USC, and UT. Vandy girls are not the hottest girls in the country though, not even the hottest "most marriageable" girls (hottest girls of course go to the above mentioned and also UF/FSU/ASU/UofA and a few other choice schools.)

Date: April 17th, 2008 8:25 AM Author: laughsome school cafeteria I went to Y. Had a great time. Brilliant people, and not so brilliant people as well. The residential colleges do help distinguish Yale's collegiate life. New Haven ain't bad. Easy access to NYC if that's your thing.
But it's a very expensive price tag. If you are the type who can get a full ride at Vandy, then you will probably do extremely well wherever you go to college, and more importantly, graduate school and in your professional life.
If money is going to be anything of an issue to you and your parents, go to Vanderbilt. Don't make your folks mortgage the house or cut into their retirement savings. Don't go into debt. $140K is not worth spending on Yale if Vandy or UMich is free for you. Let me emphasize this to you: you do not want to be 22 years old with massive loans to pay off.
If your parents have lots of money, then go to Yale.

Can't go wrong with Michigan or Yale. |

Date: April 17th, 2008 7:17 PM Author: bronze mind-boggling school codepig Subject: how is this even an issue? Full ride at Vandy >>>>> any other school where you will have to pay.
Do well at Vandy and the world is yours. And get laid while your at it.

Date: April 17th, 2008 7:51 PM Author: motley bat-shit-crazy sneaky criminal Yale trumps all. If you can afford to go to Yale, do it and bank on the fact that your Yale degree will eventually get you to a point in life where you can pay back those student loans. Yale will set you up for life.

OP, go to yale. don't pass go, don't collect $200, just go to yale. |

If the kid has a full ride he shouldn't pass it up because Yale is one of his options.
Who the fuck are you to say shit like that, anyways? Get in your Yaris and drive back to Skidmore. |

Date: April 18th, 2008 9:52 PM Author: embarrassed to the bone dragon set is this full ride a financial aid full ride or a merit scholarship? yale/dartmouth will most likely match if financial. and actually, they may even match merit. i had a full ride from Brandeis and like $6000/yr in loans from D. i ended up with avg of $30,000/yr in grants from Dartmouth. but of course, unless you had applied for financial aid to begin with, you would not have this option.
in any case, again, if you did not apply for financial aid, that means your parents can pretty much afford it. go, dude. yale or dartmouth, either is fine. money, you can always make. but college is a one time deal. |
|
Date: April 23rd, 2008 6:20 PM Author: Sadistic friendly grandma Thanks to all who responded.
It's merit money from Vandy, so no chance of Y or D matching. I'm still undecided between Vandy and Yale. |

Date: April 24th, 2008 8:58 PM Author: Sadistic friendly grandma I'm not a Vandy troll and I certainly hope I'm not an idiot. If I knew I'd be going to professional school I think it'd be Vandy easily, an extra 175k or so would help immensely. Thanks for the constructive feedback though.

Date: April 25th, 2008 6:40 AM Author: embarrassed to the bone dragon set you did not even apply for financial aid from D or Y? when I told D of my merit aid from a school much lower than V, my aid package went from minimal to full tuition. |
