<p>Last year was 1:2, not 1:3. The total number in previous years (when Yale had ED) was only around 400. I don’t know totals for last year. They’d certainly be higher but probably not by much (I’d guess 500). The two schools together matriculate roughly 2900 freshman, so it’s quite a small fraction. </p>
<p>Yale’s very much a school on up–the renovations are near completion, New Haven’s been straightened out, and boards like give prospectives great access to information about the schools’ relative strengths (and Yale’s undergrad focus in particular). When I applied to schools just a few years ago, it was very difficult to get information about them from any source besides themselves. My bet’s that we’ll reach parity by the time this entering class graduates.</p>
