Yale Alumni and their reaction to "That's why I chose Yale."

You may or may not be familiar with the new Yale admissions video, an unorthodox high school musical-esque take on the normally bland collegiate information that comes with applying to school. Regardless of whether you have seen it or not, some stodgy Yale alumni have, and they don't like it!

Highlights:

"It's the God-Damnedest thing I've ever seen."

"My God, if you're a hockey player, you think, I'll go to Princeton."

The New Yorker points out:

"Few institutions seem to subject themselves to there-goes-the-neighborhood style lamentations quite as regularly as Yale, with its legions of Old Blue curmudgeons, post-structuralist radicals, and earnest young strivers."

The New Yorker just called yale alumni curmudgeons! That made my day!
