<p>This is my first time posting; I’ve lurked the forums for quite some time, and have found them to be very helpful in my college application and decision process.</p>
<p>Byerly–correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Ramatullah Hashemi (Yale’s “Taliban Guy,” as you put it) enrolled in Yale’s general studies program, rather than Yale College? I don’t know much about the Eli Whitney Scholars program, but I do think it’s important to note that Mr. Hashemi does not “go to Yale” in the way that most people would define the phrase. To my understanding, the program does not offer participants a Yale degree.</p>
