<p>DS actually covers three requirements: WR, humanities, and social science. If you add in some science, math, or a foreign language (especially a science or math, since that will keep you from going into a reading-overdose), that’s over half of your reqs done freshman year. Some people even manage to fill pre-med requirements doing DS. In a word: you will still be able to take science courses.
[But yes, I am 90% sure you can retract your acceptance during shopping period. I honestly doubt they’re going to force you to do it if you decide you don’t want to.]</p>
<p>The fact that you were preadmitted means that someone at Yale is firmly convinced that you can handle (and would be a great asset to) DS. I really urge you to consider it. I’m uber-excited for it. :)</p>
