This year, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions received the largest number of applications ever submitted to Yale College, with 32,891 applying to the class of 2021 as of Jan. 26.

He said the admissions committee would meet from the middle of February through March to review applications and release its decisions on March 30 along with those of the other Ivy League schools.

I sense this longstanding trend among the elite schools isn't going to stop anytime soon. The NYT article about Stanford might not be so far off in a decade or two.

@mohammadmohd18 Which article? Sounds interesting.

I think he's talking about this:

@reuynshard Thanks so much! That was hilarious XD

With 32,891 applications and an enlarged class, say 2350 admits, the admit rate should be around 7.1% this year. Up from 6.3% last year.

reuynshard · February 2017

Being a bit nit picky here, but it will probably still be around 6.9%, since the class is only expanding by about 200 students (with current yield rates that equates to about 290 more admits).

HYPSPlease · February 2017

@reuynshard, 290 admits could be correct. But could be a bit higher.

The article says, "The number of students to be admitted this year will increase by between 300 and 400 with the opening of the two new residential colleges in the fall."

does anyone know when yale sends the acceptance mail? Does it arrive before the portal updates or no? how does that work?

gibby · March 2017

@ivzdays: Acceptance packages are mailed on the same day the portal is updated, this year on March 30th. It usually takes 2-5 days for acceptance packages to arrive. Yale does not snail-mail rejection letters if a student has already checked the portal and received the bad news: http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2009/03/27/rejection-letters-go-paperless/
