<p>let the posting begin</p>
<p>whoa, it's so crazy that EA folks are gonna start posting on this board, in like exactly a week! eek!</p>
<p>Great to see there's a forum about Yale already!!</p>
<p>I applied to REA for Yale this year, will get notified on Dec 15.:)</p>
<p>For engineering is Yale better Upenn.</p>
<p>Umair, I believe UPenn has a higher ranking. Yale is not well-known for Engineering... its strongest programs are, as far as i know, English, History, Art, Drama and Psychology. More humanties based than many other top schools.</p>
<p>Cornell is a better engineering school. Penn is a business school.</p>
<p>Yale is definitely not known for their engineering program. Though this also means your classes will be smaller and you will have more interaction with professors. So it's definitely a personal decision after weighing which factors (including non-academic, e.g. social life, campus environment, etc.) are most important to you.</p>
<p>According to Science Watch, Yale ranked among the top ten of 100 federally-funded U.S. universities with the highest citation impact of their published research papers from 1997-2001 in 21 major fields of science and the social sciences. Yale Engineering had also ranked #1 in the 1996-2000 citation impact report. In the ISI survey covering 1993-97, Yale had ranked #8.</p>
<p>Is this gonna empty out in favor of the bulldog boards once they work properly?</p>
