Stanford vs. Yale vs. UPenn (M&T)

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>So, I'm stuck in an even bigger dilemma! Comments and suggestions would be very much appreciated.</p>

<p>Possible major(s): Chemical Engineering, Economics, MS&E (@ Stanford), Mathematics and Computational Science (@ Stanford), Applied Math, Finance (M&T)</p>

<p>Since I need to make the most (academically) out of the 230k that my parents will be spending, I'm looking forward to pursuing a submatriculation/coterm program, which allows you to graduate with an MS in 4 years. I also heard that it is quite hard (given the distribution/language requirements) to obtain a master's @ Yale?</p>

<p>Nevertheless, I would still like to enjoy my undergraduate experience. How's the level of competition at Stanford/Yale/UPenn (M&T)?</p>

<p>After a degree in undergrad, I think I may want to pursue an MBA afterwards.</p>

<p>In terms of career, I'm still somewhat undecided, but either something engineering-related or possibly IBanking or Consulting.</p>

<p>The only worry I have about Yale is the strength in its science/engineering departments.</p>

<p>My uncle also mentions something about alumni connections. I'm not really sure how it works. I guess he meant an alumni hooking you up for a job because of your college?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

This is exact reason my son chose Stanford over Yale. So far, he has taken CS, Stats, Math, Econs among other courses. Those can not be offered at Yale for the same quality. He is towards MS&E/math direction.</p>
