^ fyi, once you get out of grad school, I think the MIT grads would have a pretty big leg up on connections and etc.

In all honesty, I think employers value a Berkeley BA in EECS, CS, or EE a lot more than the Yale equivalent (actually, my mother has recruited for big companies before, she says Yale and Duke Eng. degrees are worth less than most of the other degrees just because Berkeley, LA, Stanford, Princeton and UPenn tend to get much more attention in terms of engineering degrees). I think that Yale’s a good choice overall, so even if you don’t want to do anything other than engineering, apply and check your chances. If you get in, maybe you’ll find you like art more than engineering, in which case you are set.
