Who did you turn down for Amherst?

@Ahowooh yeah. It looks that way. Yale’s sending me a credit eval and FA package soon, then I’ll give the final say. That said, Amherst’s academics deserve as much respect as Yale’s. At the end of the day, the amazing FA, location, and overall fit played the biggest role.

I’d also note that it’s not a decision I’m taking lightly. As a vet, I’m honored to even have my app get looked at more than once by either school. The biggest deciding factor was saving my GI Bill for grad school rather than burning through it to say that I got a Yale B.A.
