@Dan Yes I realize that. Any institution can base rejection on the fact that an applicant is coming from a weaker school (e.g. Oxford may likely reject my application to their MBA program with my measly Deleware County Community College undergrad degree). That Excelsior is accredited by the same board that accredits Penn has nothing to do with anything. That's like me pretending to be rich just because I use the same bank as Bill Gates.
As petty and bored as I may seem to be nitpicking on this topic, my point isn't to deflate the merits of Yesod Yosef. I personally earned a bachelors degree in a similar alternative program and was accepted into various grad schools in numerous fields (UMD, UMN, Johns Hopkins and UCLA). I encourage people stuck in the yeshiva systemn with no future to pursue such an option.
What my point IS, is to just try to keep it real. Yesod Yosef/Excelsior isn't the only viable option and it is certainly not the fail-proof messiah of accelerated bachelors degrees.
