@ricck1 - There is no doubt that Yale is a fantastic school for someone who is looking for a strong premed program, but international rankings directly contradict your statement that " Yale is generally regarded better in the sciences and premed, particularly biology". In fact, it’s the opposite.

It’s really a moot point for most undergraduates - both schools have excellent programs, and students who are lucky enough to have a choice between the two should be looking at more than just rankings.
