From what I know art schools generally have a lower academic standard than do comparable public/private colleges. Is this true for Yale as well? Are the academic profiles similar to the average Yale student body or a bit lower?



It usually depends on whether or not a portfolio is a mandatory part of the application. I’m not familiar with art, but at least for architecture, an OUTSTANDING portfolio can SOMETIMES make up for less than stellar academics (but this doesn’t mean that academics aren’t taken into account).
