Yale’s acceptance rate is 3.7%, the lowest ever, and that’s with two new colleges. I expect the others will not be much better.

Nice! Are any of these athletes?


No. Kids are:

ROTC
Urm
Asian/TJ

Urm had lowest stats. The other two had very, very high ones.


…and how would you know what the stats or the application looked like?


Because the kids told me. Literally they personally told me.

- and I’m an URM and my kid applied to 2 ivies and got rejected to both.
