kaman, Yale has everything. However, if your mind were fixed on technology, the hardcore, I would look into schools like MIT, Princeton, Caltech and Olin. If you have an open mind and would like to have more options in the future, I would consider Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia and schools in that category, which provides opportunities for early exposure to professional schools in additional to graduate schools. Most of the students change their minds in collage. It is always wise to keep your options open.

Another thing about Yale is that they have followed Harvard’s step and provide more financial support to students. If your family’s income is in the range of 120K-180K, you virtually get tuition free. However, if you simply cannot qualify for financial aid since your parents make substantially more than 180K, you would have a better financial package from Olin. But then your parents probably do not care to pay tuition anywhere you go or love to pay to Harvard or Yale as long as you can get in.

Sorry this is off the topic.
