recent blog posts for Yale University
Yale is one of the most well-known, and well-respected, universities in the world. A member of the famed Ivy League, Yale brings together outstanding minds and nearly extensive resources to provide 6,700 undergraduate students with exceptional opportunities. Yale has a tight-knit community on its New Haven, CT campus, and 75% of undergraduate students (and 100% of first-years) live on campus. The acceptance rate is about 4%.
Yale University, nestled in New Haven, Connecticut, is one of the eight Ivy League schools, the third-oldest college in the U.S., and one of just nine institutions founded before the American Revolution. In other words: steeped in history.
Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, is one of the eight Ivies, the third-oldest college in the US, and one of the nine schools founded before the American Revolution. In a word: storied. Yale is extremely popular with Ivy League hopefuls and extremely competitive – last cycle, they had a 3.9% acceptance rate. However, if you’re reading this, we assume you know this. You’re here because a parent (or both!) went to Yale and you want to follow in their footsteps. Let’s talk about it.
Getting deferred from Yale hurts, there’s no sugarcoating it. You put in the effort, told your story, hit submit, and hoped for the best. And now? You’re stuck in the “maybe” zone. It’s confusing. It’s frustrating. And it’s okay to be disappointed. But remember! Yale didn’t shut the door. You’re still in the running, and that matters.
