It’s really hard to hard to tell if the Ivies have race preference, but it’s definitely ugly if the colleges set quota or something like that to their applicants.

can anybody tell how many brown, yellow and white people that the Ivies offered admission this year?

Much greater than the 0.2% difference is the fact the S defers relatively few applicants compared to Y. For better or worse, they have a very different admissions philosophy when it comes to deferral.

josh, are there really differences? i think the only sources of info so far have been us and the ydn, and i know for a fact we had the same source— the admissions director himself. any other sources are no good, and ours are as good as an announcement from the university.

Where is the Yale’s official announcement? There are so many differences in the numbers from different sources.

To antbegone:

Actually the early pool admits will make up about 57% of the class when all is said and done: 750 out of 5,235 applicants. The remaining 575 seats will be filled from a regular applicant pool that may approach 20,000.

Get the math?

Yale favors the early pool because more than 80% of them will enroll, whereas only 50% or so of the “regular” applicants will pick Yale over some other choice they have.

I hope Yale should provide more information about its process. Yale is the only one in the league that has this early decision. Yale has an advantage over other schools in attracting good students. Yet, Yale put tremendous pressure on the students. Once got deferred, students has one week time to complete term final exam and one week to apply for other school. I heard Yale has score system in admission. What is it. Can Yale describe its process? Do those deferred application get a second read in the coming months? Do early decision and regular decision have different criteria? Why a student who do not qualify for early decision has a possibility in the regular decision? How many regular applicants Yale will have this year? 5000? plus 2660 deferred, about 8000 to compete the remain 300 seats?

I think that brown skins are discriminated by yale admission committee. I know of a person who has excellent resume but did not get in.

I think some how Indo-American applicants are being discriminated by Yale. Some one needs to look into the problem for sure.
