<p>I haven't met anyone who has gotten into Yale in forever! I know people from my school who were accepted to Harvard and Princeton, but were flat out rejected from Yale early decision. Is it the most competetive ivy?</p>
<p>Wow, I don't know, but it does seem this year like Yale is incredibly hard to get into. I know my friend who has like everything you could ever want in an application, didn't get in. So I dunno.</p>
<p>Yale was the hardest Ivy to get into this year--their acceptance rate was lower than 9% overall, and something like 5.8% RD.</p>
<p>val of my school got in ... but hes crazy. took AP calc in 9th grade or something <em>vomit</em></p>
<p>I have a friend who got into Yale. He's a good student, but certainly not some incredible overachiever.</p>
