they – like any college – are concerned about yield



Hmmm. Yale’s yield is historically consistently very good. They know very well that there isn’t a single applicant who half-asses his or her application. I would say they are concerned with snapping up the few exceptional kids who show up on the radars of Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton a lot more than they are with overall yield.
