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

Not trying to be mean, but in my opinion, if you can’t take 5 minutes to tell an admissions officer why you want to go to their school, that’s kind of like a slap to the face to them.

They obviously know you want to go there since you applied, but not answering the question makes it seem like you don’t have any idea why you’re applying and you lack sufficient interest in the school.
