<p>I’ve noticed that the Yale forum is a lot more active than the Harvard one.</p>

<p>Is Yale taking over Harvard’s position at the #1 most coveted school in the nation? Why are so many more people applying to Yale than Harvard?</p>

<p>Discuss.</p>

<p>Yale has Early Action; Harvard doesn’t. Come April, things will be more even.</p>

<p>Yale is more insecure so they have to talk more.</p>

<p>^^ lmao! (10 char)</p>

5

<p>Stanford’s better than both of them.</p>

6

<p>Because Y is a better letter than H</p>

7

<p>Of H and Y students who were accepted to both, H typically gets 65%, Y gets 35%.</p>

<p>I don’t know. Gilmore Girls? In my case it’s because H doesn’t accept transfers. I plan to be one of the 25 accepted into Yale in 2 years. jk.</p>

<p>gadad, I’m curious where you got your stats from. Last time I checked, H and Y yields were rather close, with H being higher.</p>

<p>^^The yeilds are close, but that’s not what he’s talking about. Gadad is referring to cross-admit data. In other words among students who are admitted to BOTH schools, 65% of them choose Harvard and 35% chose Yale.</p>
