Last year Yale called for a very, very short “Why Yale” essay. I don’t recall the precise character limit on the Yale Supp to the Common App, but the word count on my son’s came out to under 50. Unless Yale has changed its requirement this year, “Why Yale” is not a major component of the application. (That doesn’t mean it’s unimportant.)
