you should probably do a virtual stanford campus tour if you haven't been able to visit
i think it depends on the kind of person whether "isolation" is depressing. for like stanford, cornell, duke it just means that the campus vibes and community provide a lot of entertainment and recreational opportunities such that you don't need to like go out into the city for those entertainment needs but it also depends on the person
neat valley
Not sure what you mean by yale not having a quant pipeline. If you want to do start ups Stanford is head and shoulders above
They place well afaik
Does Stanford isolated mean the culture or the location of campus?
My friends who go there are having a blast but they’re probably not the median so who knows
If I were you i’d choose based on which supplementals I think are better
cunning kernel
unless ur from like florida yale isn’t that cold
it just gets colder in the winter
rose igloo
Also, picking a school based on quant is... Dumb
thanks bro appreciate it
cunning kernel
yes!!!!
u can always apply to stanford rd regardless of your yale decision
not really a difference in chance
cunning kernel
tbh just by this post alone I can tell u prob wont get into either
bye not the shade
why would u say that 😭😭😭
rose igloo
tbh just by this post alone I can tell u prob wont get into either

bye not the shade
just kinda a feeling

alright march 28 2025 i'll let u know
are you a time traveler

damn bruh

If yale isn't competitive between students U should def go there
that sounds very nice
cunning kernel
If yale isn't competitive between students U should def go there
is stanny competitive?
wide merlin
Yes
cunning kernel
like only in cs or throuhgout the whole school
rose igloo
competitive as in?
wide merlin
mostly in cs
rose igloo
like not collaborative?
wide merlin
not rlly between students
although I'm not a big fan of the startup culture so someone else may say something differently
cunning kernel
although I'm not a big fan of the startup culture so someone else may say someth...
what r u studying
wide merlin
cs
cunning kernel
i see
rose igloo
i'm actually curious why u think this post makes it look like i can't get in lmao
cunning kernel
i feel like yale and stanny have a lot of crossadmits
cunning kernel
i feel like everyone i met who was deciding at bdd was like im choosing between stanford and yale
cunning kernel
which guy
cunning kernel
oh he went to exeter
yeah yale tries to give u reasons to choose yale over mit/stanny/other better cs/eng schools with the likely
likely guarantees research funding
wide merlin
thats nice
tbh once you have the choice between schools like that it really doesn't matter
you can't really go wrong
cunning kernel
fr
wide merlin
which is nice
cunning kernel
like youll be fine anywhere
some ppl r rlly pretentious about it
like the amount of people who will go to revisit to flex the schools they got into
wide merlin
@rose igloo I don't mean to discourage you from applying anywhere and I'm sorry for being rude earlier. I do think that you shouldn't consider "quant pipeline" between top schools
If you wanted to break into quant you could do it at both stanford and yale
wide merlin
I think that someone who would break into quant at stanford would also break into quant at yale
rose igloo
why u think so
wide merlin
like the school name helps mostly to get an interview and I think you'd get the same amount of interviews as stanford and yale if that makes sense
rose igloo
i was more thinking of the opportunities each college has
and i have yet to find a quant focused one
unless you reach out to a prof directly
wide merlin
Quant cares mostly about the school you go to and being able to pass the interview
sounds bad, but for school all they really care about is general prestige
rose igloo
cuz i do not like harvard culture
wide merlin
but from the post it seemed like you mostly want to do quant
wide merlin
what are you main goals
rose igloo
something to do with data science / ai
if i happen to take stochastic processes and really like it i might do quant
but if i happen to make friends with some really cool startup people
i'll do that
wide merlin
I see
rose igloo
i just have a general direction rn
rose igloo
me neither
wide merlin
@cunning kernel said they had guaranteed funding for research
maybe they have something similar for startups
rose igloo
guaranteed funding for what
rose igloo
yeah
i don't really gaf about research tbh
i've authored or coauthored 2 research papers
but it's def not some passion i have
wide merlin
yh im just saying they may have something similar for startups

rose igloo
i see

I also like how well they treat student athletes
rose igloo
u a student athlete?
wide merlin
Yes
rose igloo
cool

quant at yale is pretty solid
it's not a pipeline but my host's roommate during BDD had a high 6 figure offer like right out of grad, plus a lot of stem majors tend to veer into start-ups or quant
rose igloo
it's not a pipeline but my host's roommate during BDD had a high 6 figure offer ...
Oh that’s pretty cool to know
cunning kernel
i think at the end of the day if ur set on doing quant and you go to yale you’ll be able to do quant
but like ur interests are def going to change throughout college.. yale is liberal arts so you’ll be exposed to all different kinds of classes
twilit saddle
flip side, I don't tihnk you can really be set on doing quant. It is so selective. It's like being set on the NBA or something
wide merlin
agreed
fickle pendant
ive heard stanford rea is more useful than hyp rea but that could be wrong
livid halo
stanford rea is a bit of a gamble though -- if your app is strong enough for stanford rea then it shouldn't make a difference w rd

aren't they removing legacy so maybe it helps more?
