<p>Here’s the low down:
It’ll make you look bad, but that has no permanent effect on you because you won’t go to yale.
The permanent black stain, however, remains on your school, ESPECIALLY your college guidance counselor.<br>
The fact that you got into Yale attests to your academic promise and your supposed integrity. You are harming your school’s reputation and seriously hurting the underclassmen that apply to yale in the next few years.
I mean, this depends on what type of school you go to. The smaller your school, but more true this is. In general, the more prestigious your school is, the more true it is.<br>
Hope this helps.
Write a letter. if you decline
But, don’t decline. Yale is great. Harvard is anti-great. You’ll see after Bulldogs day…</p>
