New Haven is a crappy town and its also somewhat dangerous. Philadelphia is so much more lively and fun. It’s funny when admissions officers and students from Yale tell you that New Haven is such a good town because it is close to NYC, Boston and Philly. Both schools are superb academically. Yale gets the upper hand because it is a little bit more prestigious. However you can achieve anything at both schools.

I also heard its easier to get into Penn ED. They have like a 20-30% acceptance rate. I think you should apply to Penn. I think you should base your decision on “fit.” Both are superb in terms of research and academics.

I’m not homophobic or anything, but there is also a high homosexual population at Yale from what I was told by Yale undergrad and medical students .

People always confuse Penn and Penn State lol, but then again a degree from Yale is highly sought after.
