<p>The 5 percent fall in early applications to Yale this year can be largely attributed to the financial downturn, according to eight college counselors interviewed Thursday.</p>

<p>Earlier this week, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions reported that 5,265 students had applied early to Yale, down from last year’s record high of 5,556 applicants. Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Jeff Brenzel said he did not know how the current economic climate may have affected the number of applications. While the eight college counselors said they agreed with Brenzel’s view that the drop is not “statistically significant,” all noted that the current economic uncertainty is deterring students from committing to single-choice early programs such as Yale’s.</p>
