What are your general comments?

I have to agree with the other interviewee who noted the parallels between Stanford and Yale. When I read his/her review before my interview, I thought the individual was simply upset due to a bad interview experience but s/he was right on target. I don't know if Yale followed Stanford's lead or what but the similarities are ridiculous. The only problem is that Yale does it better. Oh yeah, don't forget to ask them about their new "track system" and the fact that a lot of their students usually take five years to finish. Ask them if it's because they really want to finish in five or if the course work and the desire to "live a little" simply gets to them.
