yale is trying to keep it’s early action and its regular decision acceptance rates pretty steady at the moment

also, there were fewer people applying early this year, so accepting those 500 do raise the overall acceptance rate significantly to like 25% i think, which would be ridiculous. people would be going crazy saying that they should have applied to yale early and whatnot. i don’t think yale wants that hassle and doesn’t want to give people the impression that applying early really helps
