<p>students are not admitted to yale on the basis of a letter they write saying that “yale is my top choice.” Yale knows that without a doubt it is the top choice of a vast majority of the students that apply, and so, I doubt your letter did much other than reaffirm what they already knew. </p>
<p>If you have legitimate reasons for not going, then please dont. Nobody wants an unhappy Yalie (as though such a thing ever existed!). </p>
<p>Go where you’ll be best, I honestly beleive you’ll be ok.</p>
