<p>I was blessed to be admitted to both Yale and MIT. I want to go into Biomedical/Biological Engineering for undergrad to eventually master in Immunology. I know a good amount about MIT but very little about Yale. Can anyone give me insight into either school's program and any general factors that could contribute to my decision? Thank you!</p>
<p>Yale’s prestige is obvious, but their engineering is nowhere as good as MIT’s.</p>
<p>Idk about Yale but you might want to keep in mind the fact that at MIT, you can only minor in BME. you would have to major in something else, although bioengineering may be a choice. I’m not sure. BME is still a relatively new field so I would think MIT’s edge is smaller than in other engineering disciplines, but I would still rank it higher than Yale’s. Keep on mind other factors as well like fit and money as well as academic strength.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about bioengineering at either school. But if you are majoring in engineering in general, MIT hands down. Yale undergraduate is LAC-centric. You can’t even compare the two. MIT is beyond light years ahead.</p>
<p>Harvard is my alma mater and I took numerous tech classes at MIT. It was obvious MIT was ahead of Harvard in quality of tech classes. I also had classmates from Yale engineering, and they felt the same way.</p>
<p>I agree with most of the above about MIT over Yale, however in this particular case Yale has an expertise in Bioengineering, and in fact, in the latest NRC rankings, is ranked 10th v. MIT’s 4th ranking…</p>
<p>Although smaller than MIT’s, Yale’s Bioengineering department is about 40% of the whole Engineering School in terms of number of students compared to MIT’s 9%.</p>

<p>ick, slightly surprising but good to know, thanks for the info</p>
