Thank you. Given the financial aid package that we received from Yale, my family would be able to handle the costs of attendance there, making finances a secondary (but still important) concern.

Going into the college admissions process, I probably would have pegged Yale as my first choice, and I would say that I was definitely more excited to be admitted to Yale. With that said, the more I learn about West Point, the harder it is to turn it down.

I have visited West Point for an overnight, and will be staying overnight at Yale next week for an overnight as well. Definitely liked what I saw at West Point in terms of some of the people I met, but also saw that it would be incredibly exhausting compared to Yale.

Really appreciate the input; I think you make a very valid point. I'm really unsure about whether I would want to stay in any service for 10+ years, so would you say that I'd be better off not entering service?

With May 1 rapidly approaching, I'm still torn between two schools: Yale and West Point. Were I to attend Yale, I would enroll in NROTC with a Marine Option Scholarship, as military service is something that I would like to participate in. I don't think I would want to make a long-term career...
