Not according to the number of early action applications. This year was second highest number of applicants. But go on with your gut feeling, OP.

Number of applicants is a useless metric with how easy it is to apply now. [/quote]

Okay, then why don’t you share the metric that tells you Yale is losing their cachet. I’m all ears. [/quote]

I am not the PP. I am curious. Aside from Yale law school, is there any other particular academic program that is distinguished from other top schools? [/quote]

I think it’s fair to acknowledge that Yale really built its reputation in the first few hundred years for its strength in humanities and to some degree social sciences. Of course it has had to pivot and change as the world changes and a classics degree it doesn’t mean what it meant 100 years ago. They are however still very strong in liberal arts in general, are investing heavily in STEM, have a newly minted school of global affairs that has an undergraduate degree associated with it, the med school is of course highly regarded. I think the business school is not necessarily its strength. But I mean what are you really looking for him in this question? It seems to do a lot of things very well, offers generous financial aid, and is a great networking starting point.[/quote]
