I just got into Yale and am very interested in the BA/MA program. Does anyone have any experience with this at Yale or otherwise? I am most interested in Political Science or maybe History, but any experience would be greatly appreciated. Is it very competitive to get into the program? And how difficult is it? Is it at all doable while having a healthy mental and social life?
My son’s GF got an MA/BA in PoliSci while he was getting an MS/BS in CompSci. They had a healthy mental and social life. It isn’t easy, but it’s very possible to do without suffering. The one drawback is that you will be limited in how many electives you can take.
