<p>gradschoolguru, as far as anyone knows, posterX has no Yale affiliation. He does, however, like to exaggerate Yale’s advantages, even though they can stand on their own.</p>
<p>That said, you clearly know nothing about undergrad admissions. Yale’s undergrad engineering majors compete in the same admissions pool with every other Yale student, which means they are just as good. They are certainly (on average, at least) better than Berkeley’s, because Yale’s admissions standards are much higher than Berkeley’s. They are roughly equal to Caltech, MIT, and Stanford. Yale’s engineering program is weaker than those other schools, but it’s not because the undergrads who major in engineering at Yale are weaker.</p>
