Hey,

So i just got my acceptance into the Yale Ivy Scholars Program. The dilemma I face is that I have been accepted into both the Global Leaders program and the Hertog Program in American Politics. I was wondering what you guys thought of which program is better in general, which one would be more of an experience, and which one would look better/more prestigious on a college application.

I am a rising senior, if that makes a difference. I kinda don’t want to be in a program with rising sophomores (Global Leaders) because I want to be challenged by those who are academically my equals. Furthermore, I don’t really want to be in a program with ~100 other kids (Global Leaders). In that regard, Hertog is better. However, Hertog has its own problems as well.

I was wondering what you guys thought on the issue. I know that these are new programs offered by Yale Ivy Scholars. However, any information that may guide me in the right direction is welcomed.
