Yale or Princeton?

Hello everyone. I have been thinking about which Ivy League college I would like to apply to. I believe I have the stats to get in, and, well, I only get to do this college application thing once, so I might as well try it. Now, my college list has Yale on it right now, but one of my friends has been talking about Princeton a lot and I’ve been considering it more and more.

I am planning on majoring in applied math with a biology or chemistry emphasis. I have applied to smaller schools (my in-state flagship is the largest one with less than 25,000 total students), and so I don’t want to be bombarded by tens of thousands of people. I would like to play club sports and join a plethora of diverse clubs at school. I am a middle-class individual, so aid would be helpful for something as expensive as an Ivy education.

So, given all of that, which of these two schools do you think would be best for me? Is there a fundamental difference between the two I should know? I will be happy to specify any other information you would need to make a proper judgement. Thanks!
