How bad is it if I didn't answer "Why Yale?"

It does seem a little sneaky to me but it serves their purposes I guess.



I actually see it differently. If they had said the Why Yale question was “optional,” (but secretly expected serious applicants to respond) then that would be sneaky.

The truth is, I didn’t even realize it was optional (because they didn’t say it was optional in the question) until I saw on CC that people didn’t answer it.
