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.)
