| only accepted 776, with 250 athletes. So around 526 spots out of 7800 kids. |

Wow! 6.7% acceptance rate taking out athletes. Plus children of mega donors/well connected folks probably take some of those 526 spots. Seems silly for non-athletes to use their early application on Yale at this point. |

I feel the same way. I am an alumni, and child will apply next year. Not even sure it is worth it as a legacy (not a high donor), especially when it means giving up a chance for merit at other schools (some schools require you to apply early action to be considered for merit.) |

According to the AD the number is about 200 a year. Not every athlete is recruited. https://davidholahan.com/profiles/the-new-face-of-yale-athletics |
