That would be nice :D

Hypothetical for people ITT: Would you take a CCN full ride (pick your favorite) over Yale, or no?

Lucky enough to be getting a lot of money from my UG wherever I go, so if I were lucky enough to get into Yale, I'd go.

Might be worth editing the google doc--OP/xylo, is one of you in charge of that? I don't want to mess anything up...

That's Yale's website, don't think they are going to troll us

Erghh, a Hamilton would really sway me... But it is Yale... Maybe Hamilton > Yale? Soooooo hypothetical though.

Hmm...I don't think this follows. Yale can literally accept anyone they want. I think they take pride in not needing to hew to numbers on every applicant. Just IMHO though.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
