[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got into Yale in 2015 (so perhaps very slightly less competitive than it is today, but in practice I don't think there's a big difference) with "no hooks". I just went to a normal DCPS high school and got good grades...[/quote]

Dramatically less competitive than today, unfortunately.[/quote]

Not PP. Not really - Yale reports 6.7% in 2015 and 5.91% in 2023.  I wouldn't call that dramatically different.  I 've been following college message boards for years and it's pretty typical think this is the WORST YEAR EVER/A BLOODBATH but at the most selective schools it's been down in the single digits for awhile.

2000 -- 16%
1990 -- 20%
1975 -- 27%[/quote]

Right, and nobody is disputing that acceptance rates have declined at all these schools over the last 50 years. But the prior assertion that Yale was “dramatically less competitive” in 2015 is simply false. This is easy info to locate, as apparently you have. [/quote]

NO NO NO. You are choosing years selectively. Why stop at 2023 (that was already 4 years ago). For the Yale graduating class of 2019 - overall admit rate was 6.49 percent. Fro the most recently admitted class, it was 4.25 percent. That is a very substantial cut.  Even more dramatically EA admissions rates down from 36.6 percent (!) for 2013 to 10.2 percent for 2027.
