"For the second straight year, Yale received a record number of early action applications.

The 6,020 early action applications for the class of 2023 amounts to a 5 percent increase in the number of applications from last year, the previous record. Compared to the class of 2021 — the first class after the 2017 expansion of Yale College — the class of 2023 has almost 1,000 more early applications. The number jumped from 5,086 two years ago to just above 6,000 this year.

Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid Jeremiah Quinlan told the News that Yale received applications from “50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and more than 100 foreign countries.” During this phase of the application cycle last year, Yale only received applications from 49 states and 98 foreign countries."
