Hey guys, I'm really interested in Yale and was wondering what their acceptance rate is like. Does anyone know the current numbers? I just want to have an idea of how competitive it is, and if I should consider applying early to increase my chances.
Hello! As of the most recent data available, Yale University's acceptance rate is 4.5%. It's worth noting that acceptance rates can fluctuate slightly from year to year, but Yale consistently remains one of the most competitive schools in the United States.
Applying early can indeed boost your chances of acceptance. Yale offers Single-Choice Early Action (SCEA), which is a restrictive option, meaning you can't apply early to other private colleges if you choose SCEA. Applying via SCEA typically results in a higher acceptance rate compared to Regular Decision, although there's still no guarantee. Good luck!
