Who goes to Yale?

Harvard has more students. It's at around 20k, Yale is around 13k.

But Harvard is the big famous name, even more than its competitors.

We went to Yale.

Both Bushes went to Yale.

R3 As noted in the OP

Both Sam Tsui and Kurt Hugo Schneider went to Yale.

Historically Yale was known as the gay ivy, and was famous for having a high gay population.

Yale has a Drama School - enough said

Lots of Harvard alumni in the education policy sector in DC but I don’t know if I have ever met any Yale grads.

Paul Allen was part of that whole Yale thing

Harvard and Yale have been ousted by Stanford and MIT.

If they can't keep up specifically in advanced tech, that ivy league name won't carry its undeserved weight much longer.

Notice during times of crisis, like now, Harvard and Yale and Princeton haven't done jack shit as far as the pandemic. The research hospitals, most noticeable the University of Washington, is crushing it with studies and research and progress toward a vaccine.

You’re all so common.

R10 is a nitwit. Princeton doesn't have a medical school. UW was responsible for that ridiculous modeling study (funded by Gates) that purported to predict when COVID would peak with a margin of a few days.

HYP is America’s SKY.

Harvard is fantastic in STEM r10. A famous medical school, and its biology, chemistry and physics departments are all considered among the best.

Half of the Supreme Court....

Did I? I forgot.

Susan Weaver were in the same class at the drama school. I was the favorite student though Susan did well for herself too with those bug movies.

Yale has a fairly decent film school. They seem to have a strong arts focus in addition to the usual Law, Politics etc.

R18 there’s no film school. That’s NYU.

I recently googled someone I’ve known for a few months (try not to judge me too harshly, he’s cute and I was curious) and found out he graduated from Yale. In all the conversations we’ve had he never mentioned it. Harvard grads mention Harvard within ten minutes of meeting someone.

Harvard kids are public school nerds with chips on their shoulders. Yale people are from Manhattan and went to Groton and know better than to name drop. Same with Princeton people. They’re discreet.

Prescott Bush went to Yale.

Yale = Old Money

Harvard = Wealthy New Yorkers

R21 is correct.

Jodie Foster and Ckaire Danes ( though Claire didn't graduate).

Looks like Rory Gilmore is still Yale's most famous graduate.

[quote] Jodie Foster and Ckaire Danes ( though Claire didn't graduate).

I really hope Yale Drama did better than those two. They are so mediocre.

They didn't attend the drama school, they were undergrads.

R28, that's a relief.

People who didn't get into Harvard or Stanford.

Princeton and Yale (and some non-ivy small liberal arts) get the bluebloods, and they often have big fat dicks.

My friend in law school was a Harvard alum and had a T-shirt that said something like, “Harvard. Because nobody brags about his kid getting into Yale”

As has been noted above, it is rare to encounter a Harvard graduate who does not drop that fact into conversation early. (Harvard folks can also be spotted, say at a cocktail party, by their habit of trying to talk down to you on any subject that comes up).

R32 It’s all about bragging for Harvard alums!
