Hi, I'm an athletic recruit, and I'm being recruited at both Yale and Dartmouth. However, the coach at Dartmouth is probably supporting me more than the coach at Yale. I'm near the bottom of the list for Yale's recruiting list, and in the middle for Dartmouth's. I love both schools as they are wonderful institutes, but where do you think is preferable for me to apply ED? I'm applying ED cause the coaches do most of thier string pulling in the early round. any advice would be great. thx.

I would say if you are going to apply based on where you might get in, do dartmouth. I hear dartmouth's ED program gives you a higher chance of acceptance, whereas at Yale, the EA program gives you the same chance as a regular decision program. What sport might I ask?

I just started goofing around playing squash with my dad and it is so much fun. I don't really know any of the strategy and we are sometimes a bit unsure of the rules, but I hope to learn more about it at Yale since it seems like squash has a decently-sized presence at Yale. Where I live (AZ) barely anyone has ever heard of squash let alone played it.

squash is very common among east coast schools, particularly prep schools

Chasgoose, the Yale men's team is ranked 3rd in the nation. The women's team is ranked 1st. The team has Julian Illingworth, who is ranked 5th in America and 1st for his age. You should go watch them play when they play Harvard or Princeton. Btw, the national championship is hosted by Yale.
