Wow... I'm not sure where to begin.

You overwhelmed us with.... well let's just say this blog is a torrent of details and specifics about your current situation. I'll edit with a bit of advice when you edit with a bit of help for us.

edit: also lol at the question variety... 1) what college 2) tiny question about cable tv

If you are willing to pay over 50k per year plus grad school, whatever it is, then the name recognition is probably worth it if you can get it.

My impression right now is that undergraduate school doesn't matter as much as grad school does if you're going to one...so I'm just going to take my full ride. I'm in the exact same dilemma as you >_>.

I'm going to have to agree with Nevake. It's nice to go to an amazing school with a good reputation for your undergrad, but like they say about high school, it doesn't really matter so much which school you go to, just pull the good grades for graduate school. Granted, some schools specialize (or are famous ) in specific programs, and if you can pull both of them off, then that's great as well.
Soli Deo gloria.

What are you looking to go into? If it were a UofM/Texas (sorry)/etc. type public school I'd say it might not matter, but I'm not sure what Oklahoma excels at.

Doesn't yale have that no loan thing, they just give it to you? harvard, stanford, g town, upenn and duke have been doing something like this


also, if you can get into yale and stay for grad, you have a better chance of them letting you in cuz you were an alumni, or am i wrong.

I would say the choice of major matters a lot (UOk may be good but maybe not in the major of your choice). Also, how much you can pay/are willing to pay/how much financial aid there is/that entire situation matters a lot, and I don't want to pretend that its not an issue, but from a strictly school sense, there are a lot of things you can gain from going to a "reputable" school. Coming from a school similar to Yale and having many friends who made the same choice on either side, I'd say that a surprising amount of them have regretted taking the money. Their main complaint is that the culture is very different - its harder to make friends who came from their educational background, and its harder to find people who are as interested in working hard. I realize thats a very elitist statement to make, but if you plan to go to grad school next, you're going to want to be working at least some of the time =P In terms of grad school and jobs, I would say that it may be harder to get into a top grad school (because the competition at Yale will be much higher than at Oklahoma), but you'll much more easily be able to get into grad school somewhere. The same thing goes for jobs - career fairs and similar things will draw a lot more companies from a lot more places at Yale than at Oklahoma, so it'll definitely help you out in your job search. Not only career fairs will help you out though - the friends that you make/ the alumni network at Yale will probably give you a lot of job opportunities right out of school that you might not get at Oklahoma (or would be harder to come by)
If it is an issue, you can still watch the Sooners on TV (if you want, you can get some kind of satellite tv or direct tv and consider it part of the 'cost' of going to yale, and percentagewise it won't be a big difference)

Yale. However, if your family is desperately short of money, then full ride to Oklahoma may be the better choice. If you can afford it and not live in extreme poverty, then go to Yale.

Well, if you aren't rich and you get into yale you can get a huge portion of your tuition and even living expenses paid if they want you. In the end you should go where you want but if money is the issue and yale wants you they will most likely pay a lot to get you to go to their school. I'm pretty sure most Ivy league schools operate like this.

OU is a good school. If you plan on perusing a degree in petroleum then it is the school to go to. OU, also has a good business school (price). OU is a good school and is in need of some gamer's.
