Can you please tell me what the english major program is like at whichever school you go to? I can see on Wash U’s website that their english program is pretty writing oriented and has a writing concentration, which I really like. The other two schools are a bit vague in terms of what their programs are like, so if you could please let me know that would be awesome 
You’ll have more luck in the school specific forums.
Yale currently tops in English. Distinguish between literature vs writing.
