Even with 8.3 admit rate, Yale still full of SSPs
It’s getting to be that time of year. The groups touring Yale’s campus once again include people who don’t descend from a Chinese-lettered bus en masse.

Ah not to fear the '12s. The lower admit rate is in part a reflection of a lot more DNCJWAFSP Dumb No Chance Just Wasting an Application Fee Stupid People. In the old days Stupid No Chance People at least had the sense not to apply (for we know, given the level of background checking in the process, some of these DNCJWAFSP may have filed more than one application, further lowering the admit rate.) So you can go back to rejoicing in the joys of SSPs -- over twenty years out, I can tell you that experience does little to change that first "S" having been outwitted numerous times by a friends dog, standing around last year with two other Yale graduates all with top tenschool law degrees trying to get a stapler to work, etc., etc.
