<p>The fact of the matter is that getting accepted into Yale isn’t the end of your struggles. Your goal in your education is not to get into a good school and have a lot of prestige. The goal should be to learn. By slacking off the end of your senior year, you show Yale (and any other college you apply to) that you aren’t in school to learn, but rather to get good grades. I doubt Yale wants little A-achieving machines. I’d bet Yale wants learners.</p>
