Why You Should Choose Yale: The Musical

A few days ago, we reported that Harvard's latest attempt to entice prefrosh involves changing the name of the "April Visiting Program" to something more fun.

This weekend, we found out what our friends in New Haven have been working on: a lusciously filmed, perfectly choreographed admissions video that makes getting an education at Yale seem like just another a day at Disneyland.

Is this sun-drenched musical—which stars a multicultural cast of Yalies—a work of genius or a load of garbage? Does Harvard wither like a sad sack in comparison, or does Yale seem like it's trying way too hard? See for yourself. (You can even watch it in HD.)

Oh, and while you're at it, you may as well revisit Harvard's admissions video (and OHT's parody of it too). Enjoy.
