<p>On the one hand, I don’t think they have any problems filling the classes, but on the other my husband thinks that one of the reasons our D was admitted EA to Yale was because of her desire to major in Classics (and the background to go with that). As he put it, “the faculty has to have someone to teach.” I think if it had an effect it was only a very small one. She might well have chosen to major in something completely different once she got there, and the admissions office is very aware of that. But, in the old Jewish expression, it couldn’t hurt! :)</p>
