So I know that the consensus is that if you want to go PI, you should go to Yale. But after visiting the ASWs over the past week, I actually got a much strong SJ vibe from Harvard than Yale. I'm not interested in clerking or in academia; I actually lean pretty far left and I'm interested in immigrants' and workers' rights. I'm also pretty impressed that Harvard has a Law & Social Change program of study. Furthermore, Harvard has an entire office dedicated to PI (OPIA), whereas Yale seems to just have...a CDO? But on TLS at least, people wax poetic about the "unparalleled" postgrad PI options that you can only get at Yale.
Are my impressions totally off the mark? Would love to get more feedback from current H and Y students.

Re: Social Justice communities at Yale v. Harvard
Harvard is a much larger school with more aggregate resources than Yale and Stanford combined. Yale does not provide more opportunities than H, it is just that it is easier for Yale student to attain his/her opportunity of choice given the lower competition.
