Stanford vs. Ivy League

[Unregistered]

Stanford is a fine choice for your entitled suburban soccer player. The campus is basically a country club, with a golf course, tennis courts, riding stable, etc.

And if he gets drunk and takes advantage of a woman, there are friendly judges available to let him off with a wrist slap.

I thought that was Yale. Oh no, Havahd, no Princeton?

Stanford is an amazing choice. There are very few opportunities to go there.

Apples to oranges. The original point was Stanford or one of the Ivies. This is the classic bait and switch tactic used by the D3 crowd. Next thing you know we'll be talking about the kid going to a school like Brandeis as though that is in the same tier as Stanford or Harvard or Yale. That is the equivalent of saying your kid could be playing for UNC when in reality they are playing at PC or BU. Nice programs for sure, just not on the same level.

And you're still posting.....so sad, BTNT.

Laughing at this. So typical of a face saver. In this thread the argument is all about education but if you go over to the D3 thread this same poster clearly has their panties in a bunch over the idea that the demands in D3 are less than in D1.

Forget soccer for a moment. If a kid is really academically qualified how many are really going to pick a tiny school like Williams or Amherst over a large sophisticated campus like Harvard, Yale, Stanford etc. Sure there are kids who are afraid of the big pond but let's not get carried away trying to justify their decisions with unrealistic claims.

Whose panties are in a bunch, BTNT?

Nice thread you started here to set up your continued ridiculousness.

Because I have half a brain, been around for a while, and know language and how people use it especially when there is well over a decade of data.

ATHLETIC STUDS CHOOSE THE BEST SOCCER PROGRAM WITH THE BEST COMBO OF ATHLETICS AND ACADEMICS AVAILABLE WHERE THEY ARE WANTED AND FIGURE TO BE ACTUAL PLAYERS. IN SHORT, KIDS WHO CAN PLAY AT STANFORD AND ARE RECRUITED THERE WILL PICK STANFORD OVER ANY IVY AT LEAST 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES.

Can you let it go now, BTNT???

Stanford kicks Ivy a** any day of the week, athletics or academics. So, it is not a question of choosing. It appears, if this post is even real, to be a question of geography, and no one can help the OP here.

LOL. There was no real OP. Just the same person setting himself for another rant against fake opponents who never say the things he says they say.

yep that's why Stanford is rated consistently below HYP in almost every study/rankings

First time back on the site in 4-5 months...I can see not the case for you.

Disagree.

What? US News? It changes every year. Stanford has the lowest admit rate of any school, so some people disagree. And HYP have never had top teams unless your kid plays squash or golf.
