Early App Volume Down at Yale and Brown, Up Slightly at Princeton
Yale University saw a surprising drop in the number of people applying for freshman admission under its non-binding Single Choice Early Action Program this fall.
Just 3,541 people applied under the program this year, compared to 4,084 last year. The change amounts to a 13 per cent decline in the number of EA applications received.
Some observers think that the record-low acceptance rates Yale posted last year may have discouraged some prospective students from applying this fall. Yale accepted fewer than 1 out of 5 EA applicants last year.
Brown University saw a much smaller decline in Early Decision applications, with this year's volume falling by just over 2.5 per cent from last year.
Princeton University's Early Decision application rose modestly, by 1.7 per cent.
Unlike Yale's non-binding SCEA program, Brown and Princeton's Early Decision options are both binding.
