<p>Do colleges really look at you with an incline if you put them as your top choice…does it matters for them at all??</p>
<p>You should repost on the gereral College Admissions forum. Some colleges do. Yale doesn’t.</p>
<p>I cannot imagine why someone would say that Yale does not prefer you to indicate they are your first choice. As a former admissions employee there, I can tell you unequivocally that showing that you will indeed matriculate if accepted is indeed a factor, as it is for virtually every one of Yale’s peer schools.</p>
