[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale has a reputation of being the school "where science majors go to die."[/quote]

As a general matter, good luck getting any real professors teaching your DCs at the top schools. Maybe they see one in their final year before graduating. The rest are grad students and adjuncts. Those profs that do teach can't wait to get the hell out of the classroom..[/quote]

Where are you getting this from? Take a quick look at the course catalogs say at MIT and Yale (just two random picks). Pretty much everyone in the Physics and Math departments (and others) are teaching undergrad courses. Perhaps not the 500 person freshman physics courses, which are much better done by instructors and grad students leading recitation sections. But undergrads certainly have the opportunity to take classes with top professors/researchers. The Nobel Prize guys mostly teach grad students but a bright junior/senior can definitely take those classes as well.[/quote]

A bright junior/senior? Aren’t they all supposed to be bright if they got into HYPS!?
