Hi everyone! I'm highly considering applying to Yale for early admission. Does anyone know the acceptance rate for early applicants compared to regular applicants?
Yale's Early Action acceptance rate has traditionally been higher than the Regular Decision acceptance rate. For example, in the 2020-2021 application cycle, Yale's Early Action acceptance rate was 10.5%, while the Regular Decision acceptance rate was around 4.6%. Keep in mind that these rates vary from year to year, and the applicant pool for Early Action may be more competitive overall.
Applying Early Action can potentially boost your chances of admission, as it demonstrates your strong interest in attending the school. However, it's crucial to make sure you have a solid application, with strong grades, test scores (if you choose to submit any), extracurricular activities, and essays, to maximize your chances of being admitted. Good luck with your application!
