<p>FYI: it seems like the information about the number of chinese applicants to yale last year was wrong (somebody wrote that “8 out of 32 applicants were admitted last year.”) i recall there being somewhere over 40 just for early action, and there were undoubtedly many more than that for regular.</p>
<p>here are statistics gleaned from the yale facebook and the yale club of beijing: there are 11 mainland chinese students in the class of 2008. according to the yale club of beijing’s website, the mainland china acceptance rate for the class was 1.9%. that would suggest that there were around 580 applicants, not 32, from the country.</p>
