How many students typically enroll at Yale?

So I've been wondering, how large is Yale's incoming class usually? Does it vary a lot from year to year? I'm just trying to get a better sense of the school size and my chance of getting in.

Yale University typically enrolls a freshman class of around 1,650 students. This number has been rather consistent over recent years, and any variation year by year is usually minor.

While it's good to have an understanding of the class size, it's also important to note that the size of the freshman class doesn’t directly correlate with your chances of being admitted. Yale is one the most selective universities in the world, with an acceptance rate around 4.5%. Admission depends not only on academic achievement, but also on a variety of factors such as extracurricular activities, personal essays, and letters of recommendation.

So, although understanding the size of the school can give you a sense of the community you might join, focusing on building a strong, holistic application is your best strategy for increasing your chances of admission.
