<p>In my opinion as a life sciences PhD, Yale holds its own in the life sciences part of STEM compared to just about anywhere. Yale has great basic science departments, med school labs where undergrads can do research, and incredible expansion with West campus. Great times for life sciences.</p>
<p>Don’t understand why you link issuing likely letters to the strength of the departments and repeat again and again. This is a invalid logic. Yale’s peer school like Harvard, etc. all isuse likely letters. What’s wrong with it?</p>
<p>I would like some advice. I’m also considering both. The problem with Yale is that the financial aid isn’t set, while Princeton’s is, and for Yale the estimate keeps on rising with each estimate… does anyone have experience with this? any advice?</p>
<p>Not sure I understand how can one offer be final and the other isn’t. Haven’t you given the same financial information to both?</p>
