[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]

Yale is quite transparent about this.

The two greatest changes in admissions rate over the past 20 years has been the remarkable and deliberate increase in the percentage of international students in the undergraduate student body and the massive increase in application numbers.

Since you applied in 2015, the application volume has gone from 30k to 51k! The admit rate has gone from 6.7% to 4.5%.

28,000 applicants were rejected in 2015.
48,000 applicants were rejected last year!

Yale is really transparent with their numbers. Play with this website and explore the “additional navigation” tab at your own risk. As a middle aged alumna it’s pretty sobering.
