sfd, I think the question is not “do you want Cornell or Yale?” but “do you want a BArch or a BA+MArch?” Two equally good but quite different routes.

If you choose the BA path then it doesn’t much matter where you do your undergrad – within reason of course. Successful applicants to prestigious MArch programs come from all sorts of educational backgrounds. Their common attributes include good grades, good recommendations, excellent portfolios and, ideally, some relevant work experience.

Yale is an excellent choice for architecture undergrad and a whole lot more, but you should really choose your undergrad school by FIT and I don’t know enough about you personally to say whether Yale is the best option for you.

(But I will say congratulations! )
