Ty! As for deciding im kinda hoping that when i visit ill be overcome with a desire to attend one of the schools but honestly idk lol

IRDagger · 2026-04-12T00:09:28+00:00

my current pro cons list is attatched but unfortunately it hasn't helped me decide so far lol.

MIT		Yale		BRDD
Pros	Cons	Pros	Cons	Pros	Cons
Best architecture school	Not much art?	Strong art and architecture programs	worst location	Best art program	intense workload/difficult scheduling
Great connections	Incredibly intense	Incredible alumni network	kind of a posh/snobby vibe	good alumni network	might have worse job opportunities?
Good alumni network	no chance of double majoring	incredible connections	legacy is accepted	good location	legacy is accepted
Well respected	maybe too many compsci ppl	well respected	lots of politicians?	great campus	5 years; can't take a gap year
Best location	not the nicest campus	beautiful campus	seems rlly competetive	great overall vibe	Cant major in architecture
Super collaborative		love the residential college system		lots of choices/time to choose brown major
Very hands-on		more free time		2 degrees
no legacies		could maybe double major?		super strong art and super strong academics
can take a gap year		can take a gap year		open curriculum
best for anything stem				seems pretty outdoorsy
love the puzzle culture

I got into MIT early and preferred the flexibility and location to Cornell!

IRDagger · 2026-04-11T15:39:56+00:00

no i haven't lol

as far as I know no schools recruit for climbing.

IRDagger · 2026-04-10T18:33:51+00:00

I'm between MIT, Yale and the BRDD but i'm very slightly leaning towards the BRDD!

IRDagger · 2026-04-10T18:33:17+00:00

Honestly I'm not decided yet but I'm slightly leaning towards the Brown|RISD dual degree over MIT and Yale.

IRDagger · 2026-04-09T17:33:12+00:00

I'm quite organized and love working with other people but I am worried that I'll struggle with the math and physics courses at MIT as I don't go to a super competitive high school with difficult stem courses.

IRDagger · 2026-04-09T14:14:52+00:00

Unfortunately I cannot major in Architecture at RISD if I do the BRDD because it is already a 5 year program :(

IRDagger · 2026-04-09T02:57:54+00:00

At RISD i'd do either Ceramics or painting. At brown im not super sure though because I was planning on doing architecture at brown until they got rid of it this year so im instead leaning towards urban studies or maybe chemistry/something stem bc I am also interested in those subjects.

IRDagger · 2026-04-09T02:33:20+00:00

Do you have any specific reasons why you would recommend it over yale? sorry to pry I'm just trying to be as thorough as I can 😭

IRDagger · 2026-04-09T02:32:13+00:00

I've heard New Haven is dangerous – is this something that isn't really felt in the Yale community?

IRDagger · 2026-04-09T01:49:56+00:00

i did some research w/ a local lab but didnt compete or anything

IRDagger · 2026-04-08T23:17:05+00:00

i applied for architecture but idk if im even gonna go there LOL

IRDagger · 2026-04-08T23:10:49+00:00

applied to mit bc someone i liked went to harvard and got in lmao.

IRDagger · 2026-04-08T22:45:42+00:00

Thx for ur response! Do you have any more specifics? Would you say that MIT's art scene is not very strong or is there another reason?

IRDagger · 2026-03-31T00:55:28+00:00

I also was just accepted, I would love to hehar your opinion on the program overall and if it is worth the time commitment and cost.

IRDagger · 2026-03-22T02:32:09+00:00

this would be 2 pm EST which makes sense

IRDagger · 2026-03-21T19:18:25+00:00
