主题：【求助】问一个美国学校选择的问题，请在美国的河友多多指教 -- 于是

This gets easier for me in English instead of Chinese, so bear with me.

First, congratulation to your son. Now let me do a quick pitch for why Berkeley.

Unless your son is going into politics, want to climb the corporate ladder in one of the fortunate 500, hope to break into the now-defunct finacial industry, Cal is a better choice than Yale. Your son is Chinese, and he will always be discriminiated in the race in these fields. Yale will help, but not that much.

But your son wants to pursue a career in Computer Science/engineering - gaming design I believe. That means he should be hanging out with geeks, nerds, and basically people who goes to Cal. (I am a bear so I can get away with this.) Also, think of where the gaming companies are? Blizzard, Activision, and et al, they are all in California. Your son will need internships to get into the industry, where is he going to go and who is he going to ask for help?

My roommate in my senior year was a CS major and is now working in the gaming industry. He worked on the incredible's console video game. I don't think he has any colleague from Yale.

Last but not least, George B Bush was in Yale, that in itself speaks volume of Yale.
