<p>Anyone here in same?
I would like to know your thoughts on this program.
Many thanks.</p>
<p>Yale does not have a college of engineering. Instead engineering majors are part of the only undergraduate school Yale College. Many of the engineering disciplines at Yale have a student teacher ratio of 1:1 making it for a very intimate atmosphere unequaled by many peer institutions. Furthermore, Yale is ever expanding its facilities, investing nearly 1 billions dollars thus far to strengthened the facilities of all science disciplines.</p>
<p>This year I was lucky enough to consider attending Yale for engineering or physics. During my time at Yale at Bull Dog Days I spoke to many students and professors about these disciplines. Although I've chose to attend elsewhere, I'll share my impressions. </p>
<p>First off, Yale definitely has a decent engineering program. During the engineering discussion held for prefrosh, they touted the fact that Yale was #1 for Faculty Impact in the Science Watch engineering rankings (iirc). The thing is though if you're qualified/lucky enough to be admitted to Yale you should be admitted to many other similar caliber schools with top notch engineering programs (ex: MIT, Caltech, Stanford). When I asked professors why a engineering/physics student should attend Yale if he or she was admitted to the aforementioned schools, they all basically said that many of their engineering majors had interests in the humanities which made Yale suit them. They also said that Yale offered much more attention to each of it's engineering majors and that the places like MIT/Tech/Stanford were very focused on their grad students. (I didn't really believe this, but take it for you may)</p>
<p>Imo Yale Engineering pales in comparison to it's amazing humanities. I don't understand why anyone would go there over similar schools that can offer equal academic breadth (Stanford and Princeton) or a tech environment (Caltech and MIT).</p>
