<p>entomom,</p>
<p>Thanks for your post. I sincerely appreciate you for being respectful of my opinion; I also agree with everything that you said. I am very happy that your daughter had a good experience in the English program at Yale. My child (although interested in English before attending Yale), decided not to major in English, but I think my child would agree with your child that the English program at Yale is excellent.</p>
<p>I really hesitated before writing my post, but I wanted to be honest and to share with the individual trying to choose between the Robertson scholarship and Yale, that I personally feel it would be in their best interest to take the Robertson . . .</p>
<p>It’s not that my child has not enjoyed being at Yale; it’s just that turning down a full scholarship from ANY college is definitely a huge decision . . . </p>
<p>Finally, I must be honest when I say that I am not sure my child at Yale would agree with what I wrote concerning Yale . . . I am writing this totally from a parent’s perspective, and that point should definitely be noted . . . </p>
<p>I am definitely not here to bash Yale . . . It is obviously an outstanding college . . . but so is Duke – and many, many others . . . I love this forum because it allows everyone to see opinions from lots of different people . . . </p>
<p>I am just here to be honest . . . and hopefully my honesty will help others . . . </p>
<p>best wishes to all who are making these decisions . . .</p>
