[quote=Anonymous]Yale College has offered admission to 709 applicants for the Class of 2028 through its early action program, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions announced Dec. 14.

Among all early action applicants, 20% were deferred for reconsideration in the spring, 70% were denied admission, and 1% were withdrawn or incomplete.

The admitted students were selected from among 7,856 applicants, the second-largest group of early applicants in the college’s history, said Jeremiah Quinlan, dean of undergraduate admissions and financial aid.

"Members of the admissions committee were delighted to learn about the remarkable range of accomplishments, interests, and lived experiences showcased among this year’s group of early action applicants,” he said. “This group of admitted students demonstrated exceptional academic strength and an especially impressive fit for the liberal arts program in Yale College.”

Earlier this month, Yale College also admitted 72 students through the QuestBridge College Match program. QuestBridge is a national nonprofit organization that connects high-achieving students from lower-income backgrounds with selective colleges and universities. This year, QuestBridge matched a record 2,242 students at 50 partner schools.

At Yale, students admitted through the QuestBridge Match program qualify for the university’s most generous financial aid award — a “zero parent share” award. In addition to covering the full cost of tuition, housing, and meals, Yale will provide hospitalization insurance coverage and a $2,000 start-up grant in each student’s first year. For all admitted students, Yale College meets 100% of demonstrated financial need, regardless of citizenship or immigration status.

The admissions office’s whole-person review of candidates during this cycle incorporates new place-based data from Opportunity Atlas, a nation-wide mapping project that measures economic mobility at the census tract level. This data complements dozens of datapoints included in the College Board’s Landscape tool, which Yale has used since 2017. Admissions officers have found that the data improves the committee’s evaluation of applicants from under-resourced areas and has contributed to a rapid increase in enrollments from lower-income students. The first-year class that arrived in New Haven in August 2023 includes more than twice as many first-generation college students and students eligible for Federal Pell Grants for lower-income households compared with the class that arrived in 2013.
