While Yale’s overall acceptance rate hit a record-low this admissions season, for applicants in the regular decision pool, getting into Yale was slightly easier than last year. The initial acceptance rate in the regular decision pool rose to 5.4 percent from 4.8 percent at this time last year, according to figures released by the University earlier this week...
For months before the Tuesday announcement of Yale’s record-low admit rate, colleges counselors repeated a single chorus in interviews: Dire economic conditions and Yale’s new financial aid policy would mean more applications overall and more applicants looking for financial aid from the University. A set of figures the University made public for the first time this...
Yale College admitted a record-low 7.5 percent of applicants this year, a 0.8 percentage point drop from last year’s initial acceptance rate of 8.3 percent. Yale accepted 1,951 students from its total regular and early applicant pool of exactly 26,000 applicants for the class of 2013, Dean of Admissions Jeff Brenzel told the News on Tuesday. The overall admit rate will...
Invitations to join Yale’s waitlist for the class of 2013 were harder to come by this year. Yale offered positions on its waitlist to 769 applicants, down 27 percent from to last year’s total of 1,052. In other words, the percentage of the applicant pool that was offered a position on the waitlist dropped to 3.0 percent of the applicant pool, from 4.6 percent last...

For decades, early April has brought news — whether it was welcome or not — to the mailboxes of thousands of Yale applicants. This year, the suspense is greater than ever, but a rejection notice may not arrive. To cut costs and to save paper, the Yale Admissions Office will no longer mail out rejection letters if a student has already checked their admission decision...
In the grips of the deepest recession since 1930, the Yale Divinity School is asking alumni — themselves feeling the pinch — to buck up the school’s lagging fundraising targets and sustain dreams of broader financial aid. Contributions to the Divinity School’s Annual Fund — which is earmarked directly for financial aid — are down nearly 20 percent through...
While Yale celebrated a record total of about 26,000 applications this year — a roughly 14 percent rise over last year’s total — admissions news at Williams College offered less cause for celebration. Williams, a renowned liberal arts college about three hours north of Yale, saw a 20 percent drop in applications compared to last year, down to 6,050 from 7,552, a...
With administrators across the University preparing for cuts to next year’s budget, recent cutbacks at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offer clues as to what changes may come for the Yale Admissions Office. In a move that may presage the not-too-distant future at Yale, administrators at Harvard and MIT told campus newspapers early this...
As of July, Yale will no longer be the cheapest school in the Ivy League. Tuition, room and board expenses for Yale College students will increase 3.3 percent, to $47,500 from $46,000, for the next academic year, University officials announced Tuesday. The moderate rise is in line with Yale’s recent cost hikes and also with those announced by its peer schools so far...
Tuition is expected to rise modestly next year, pending approval by the Yale Corporation, the University’s highest governing body. As the Corporation prepares to meet this weekend, administrators are looking carefully at the cost of attending Yale in a time when both the University and its students are struggling economically. Although tuition will undoubtedly rise as...
Joyce Yang’s acceptance to the Yale College class of 2013 was a mix of serendipity and hard work. A senior at Albemarle High School in Charlottesville, Virginia, Yang had not thought of attending a university like Yale, given that she believed it came with a prohibitively high price tag. But then she noticed a flyer on her history teacher’s podium advertising the...
