Yale waitlist acceptance rate?

So I've been reading a lot about the whole college admissions process, and I'm just curious about what the acceptance rate is like for the Yale waitlist. If, by any chance, I end up on the waitlist, what are my odds of getting in?

Over the past several years, the acceptance rate for waitlisted students at Yale has typically been less than 1%. While the number of students admitted from the waitlist can vary, depending on the yield of initially accepted students and the university's target enrollment for the incoming class, Yale is not known to draw more than a handful of students from the waitlist.

While there's no harm in staying optimistic, it is essential to have other college options that you would be happy to attend, including some that are less selective than Yale, to ensure you have a good backup plan if you aren't one of the lucky few to get in off the waitlist. To maximize your odds, you can always submit a letter of continued interest, which expresses your enthusiasm for Yale and provides any updates on your accomplishments or achievements since your original application. You can read more about how to write this kind of letter on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/deferred-or-waitlisted-tips-for-writing-a-letter-of-continued-interest.

Lastly, it's important to focus on the positives and remember that even being waitlisted at a school as selective as Yale is a significant accomplishment. Good luck with your college journey!
