<p>As a prefrosh, I can only tell you what I gathered from BDD, and it may be far from the truth. Don’t quote me on this!</p>
<p>a/b) From what I hear, Yale’s science program is smaller than other colleges like Princeton. The pros of this is that you get to know your peers and professors much closer, and there is less competition. The cons of this is that you’d possibly be missing out on more opportunities. Plus, the liberal arts seems to be more focused on at Yale.</p>
<p>But in response to this, I know a freshman Yalie (premed) who will be interning at London this summer. So as far as I see, opportunities won’t be hard to find.</p>
<p>Despite its small program, it’s still top-notch academically speaking. Science programs generally don’t have grade-inflation, and classes (like orgo) are still challenging. Yale is also expanding its science programs with decisions such as the recent [Acquisition</a> of Bayer Complex](<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/opa/newsr/07-06-13-02.all.html]Acquisition”>http://www.yale.edu/opa/newsr/07-06-13-02.all.html)</p>
<p>c) no idea. Good luck!</p>
