Aside from the numbers, I found this paragraph particularly interesting

. . . the office has begun using a geo-tagging service to identify potential applicants living in low-income census tracts, who may not know about Yale’s need-based financial aid awards. By targeting these areas, Quinlan said, the Admissions Office is able to provide high-achieving, low-income students with comprehensive information about the University’s financial aid policies, as well as outline how certain students are eligible for getting their Yale application fee waived.

^^^That is why I love my alma mater!! More interested in the quality and breadth of their applicants and not just sheer numbers.
