<p>Hey everyone, I'm a senior in high school and I'm planning on applying to either Yale or Stanford Early Action.. What I'm really confused about is which one to choose ! I'm planning on doing Computer Science with either a minor in Cognitive Science/ Psychology OR a double major in one of the two.. Which university has, so far, a better reputation for the courses I've mentioned ? I noticed that Yale has an undergraduate course in Computer Science and Psychology, and this would totally be a great alternative to doing a double major, but is Yale a good college for the sciences ?</p>
<p>There’s a pretty big thread about Yale/Stanford. Do a search on this forum. One advantage of yale in your circumstance is that a dual major will land you in both a high ranked CS and Psych departments. CS is very strong a Yale. At the upper echelons, I can’t tell you what the differences would be btn no. 1 (stanford?) and wherever Yale happens to be. I just don’t know.</p>
<p>Stanford is better for CS. Yale is better for psychology/cognitive science. </p>
<p>At the undergraduate level, you won’t really notice the differences in quality unless you’ve already studied both at a very high level. Just go with which school you feel would fit you better.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot ! @TheAscendancy: Yeah I suppose it shouldn’t make too much of a difference at UG, so yes I guess it’s completely up to where I wanna go now. ^_^</p>
<p>@ccuser18 : Haha you sound so much like one of my classmates right now. =P</p>
<p>But anyways, have you visited either/both of the schools? I don’t need to tell you that both schools will provide you with an amazing education. So why not figure out which schools gives off a better vibe to you? Once you know that answer, your decision should be clear.</p>
<p>Oh visiting isn’t an option for me, I’m an international student >:( But yes I think I’ll try and find out a bit more about the atmosphere at both campuses :D</p>
