NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) – Yale University officials say their applicant pool for the Class of 2028 was the largest in school’s history so far.
The first-year applicant pool was 10% larger than the previous year, and has grown by 66% since 2020.
Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid Jeremiah Quinlan said they offered admission to 2,146 of the 57,465 students who applied for the Class of 2028.

“The diverse range of strengths, ambitions, and lived experiences we saw in this year’s applicant pool was inspiring,” Quinlan said in a statement.
“We gauge the success of our outreach efforts by these qualities, and not by the total number of applications. But it is heartening to see that Yale College continues to attract exceptionally promising students from all backgrounds,” he continued.
Quinlan said he attributes the shift to Yale’s test-optional policy adopted during the pandemic.
In February, leaders voted to bring back their testing requirement- while expanding the list of qualifying exams- in the next admissions cycle.
