<p>I want to apply to Yale Engineering RD</p>
<p>I heard its program is very weak. What is the engineering school's acceptance rate?</p>
<p>Although the program is weak, hey, it's YALE!</p>
<p>Please answer my questions</p>
<p>If you want Ivy as well as a top rated engineering program, you should consider Cornell.</p>
<p>cornell or princeton, ranked #10 and 11 respectively in u.s. news. yale comes in around #40.</p>
<p>even though Yale's engineering program doesnt rank in the top 10, it's still as difficult to get into this program as the rest of the programs at Yale.
in the case of Yale, it's not whether a program is weak or not. it's the name of "Yale" that makes the school itself extremely hard to get into regardless of program.</p>
<p>and unfortunately, trying to calculate whether a certain type of program is easier to get into is practically useless because many many people are trying to use similar tactics (applying for a weak program in hopes to get in).</p>
<p>in other words, there is no separate engineering application. All undergraduate applications are to Yale College.</p>
<p>Is the point of the original poster that he wants to get into Yale and sees that applying to the engineering department will enhance his chances or that he actually wants to pursue engineering? If it the latter, he probably shoudl apply to a program that is stronger and more established and recognized in the field. If it is the former, it is sort of a dumb strategy.</p>
