<p>heya, here’s an answer to some of your questions…</p>
<p>i’d just like to quickly point out that yale has a BS/MS program that also allows you to complete and get a masters in 4 years. you apply for the program at the end of your junior year, i’m currently in. Paid research opportunities at Yale are abundant and pretty easy to find, especially if your in the perspectives program as then you have funded research starting in your sophmore summer. </p>
<p>The sciences at YAle is very strong and definitely not any less well-known than penn’s. Additionally, you get an equally strong and diverse liberal arts education at yale. </p>
<p>Yale kids are, for the most part, very nice and open, and the residential college system rocks. JE SUX!!</p>
<p>also, i would be surprised if yale students did not do comparably well to the students from penn.</p>
<p>best of luck, any questions, pm me!</p>
