<p>Would it be too much of a cliche, useless, or maybe acceptable if I state that what attracts me the most to Yale is its #1 Poli Sci department?</p>
<p>Is that what attracts you most to Yale? If so, that’s more than acceptable - it’s honest, and therefore the best answer you could give!</p>
<p>An honest answer is always the best answer an applicant can give. You should, however, refrain from mentioning rankings and the sort when answering the question. Also it would serve in your best interest to really research the department and give a substantial answer instead of a superficial one. Good luck.</p>
<p>I feel like my Why Yale answer did zero justice to how badly I want Yale, lol. sigh… mine sounded very cliche too, but it was very honest.</p>
