2010 Yale Applications Down Slightly

<p>^^Yeah, I agree. I don’t think Yale is or will lose any star applicants at all. I suspect its those “hope on a prayer” type students, who casually toss out a fishing line to an arbitrary reach university, who will be swayed by the bad publicity and go “hmmm…lets try somewhere else”, whereas the serious applicants will apply regardless. </p>

<p>All in all, no big worry for Yale, and it doesn’t really lower the competitiveness for applicants either way because remember, no one person is competing with the whole 26k worth of students. Students only compete within a given context or type - maths whizzes against maths whizzes, harp prodigies against other harp prodigies etc.</p>
