<p>I recently saw online how small of an engineering class that Yale has for undergraduates. Does this make it easier or harder to get accepted with a declared engineering major and strong engineering ec’s. </p>
<p>Also, does living far away, such as South Florida, decrease/increase or no change to admission chances?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Because undergrad students often change their majors, an applicant’s projected major does not generally play a role in admissions at Yale. But I think that because its School of Engineering was revived just a few years ago, engineering at Yale may be a bit of an exception for an applicant who can back his/her stated interest in engineering with tangible achievements in relevant academic areas. Sounds like you can do that.</p>
<p>Florida is not an underrepresented state. No admissions advantage there.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you. Hopefully I can show that my engineering interests are sincere through my ISEF research and my mentorships with engineering professors.</p>
<p>Also, what do you mean by “was revived just a few years ago”?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Yale SEAS was re-established in 2008.</p>
