@ElMimino That list was not in order of my preferences (even if I might have stated it :-p ) I believe that at an undergrad level, a better college environment will help me more than a slight difference in the strength of the math programs. Yale is high up on my list and if at all I do get in, I would love to go there if everything works out fine. Obviously, there are one or two schools that I would choose over Yale, still, the probability of me getting into any of them is very less.

@4thfloor Although my top choice is a certain college in Cambridge (You guessed it right ) this question pertains to Yale. I know that one cannot double major at Harvard. I will most probably concentrate in Applied Math if at all I go there.

@sunshine02 Thank you for your reply. I talked to a Yale alumni over the past few weeks and he said the exact same things to me. I will drop the idea of double majoring but I will make sure to take classes that interest me. I’ll major in math then, I guess. Can you shed some more light on what opportunities are available to a math major at Yale and also the life of a math major at Yale (in terms of the bond between the other math majors, the lifestyle that they lead; especially now that you have mentioned that Psets are hard and they must be spending quite a lot of time on it)? I would appreciate it if you could help me out with this either here or through PM.
