Very interesting -- Physics, Chemistry, Math, Philosophy are not in the top 15 of intended majors! It all seems rather mercenary (a whole bunch of pre-med adjacent majors, Econ and CS) is all the rage. Where's the seed corn for the next generation of scientists?[/quote]

Here is the actual list of intended majors, what's wrong with it? 
Biomedical Engineering; Computer Science;
Economics; English; Environmental Studies;
Ethics, Politics, & Economics; Global Affairs;
History; History of Science, Medicine, & Public
Health; Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry;
Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental Biology;
Neuroscience; Political Science; Psychology;
Statistics & Data Science

Also, your outrage seems manufactured. Not sure how popular philosophy is anywhere, but one of Yale's most popular majors is Ethics, Politics & Econ which has some philosophy built in. This has been a popular interdisciplinary major for a long time at Yale by the way. And while Physics, Chem and Math are not on this list, a other STEM majors are, including Molecular BioPHYSICS & BioCHEMISTRY. MB&B has also long been popular at Yale, and attracts a lot of really smart kids. [/quote]
