<p>Hi I was wondering what the average GPA and SAT scores are for those who are accepted to Yale. What are the schools highlights? Just some general knowledge would be great. Thanks!</p>

<p>Acceptance rate: 9%
Early action acceptance rate: N/A
Top 10% of high school class: 97%
SAT I score (median): 2080-2370
ACT score (median): 30-34</p>

<p>Here is a link to where I found this. They also have more stats here including general information, admission info, financial aid info, and student body statistics. But a simple google search and a visit to their website could answer many more of your questions.</p>

<p>[Yale</a> University | Admissions Facts and Statistics](<a href=“http://www.admissionsconsultants.com/college/yale.asp]Yale”>http://www.admissionsconsultants.com/college/yale.asp)</p>

<p>Yale has EA. They accepted like 13.6% this year</p>

4

<p>I tried to edit it but I didn’t do it soon enough. It just says N/A because the site doesn’t have the statistics for the early admission acceptance rate, not necessarily saying that Yale doesn’t have EA. Just clarifying.</p>

<p>ohhh…gotcha</p>

</p>

<p>you’ve just added up with middle 50% of each section, the overall middle 50% of sat scores for Yale will be a tighter range, perhaps like 2140-2320.</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick reply and great website for reference. In general… would you say the Yale is a liberal arts school? Or is it geared more towards another aspect? I am thinking of doing premed… would Yale be a good school for that?</p>

8

<p>If you can get in, yes. I’d have a back-up plan cause even if you’re valedictorian with a 34 ACT, it would still be atleast a low reach.</p>

<p>He didn’t… 2080-2370 is the exact score range posted on that link he provided</p>

<p>Yes, I see that you are right, in which case admissionsconsultants is wrong. They have taken data from a year or two ago and wrongly represented it:</p>

<p>[College</a> Search - Yale University - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)</p>

<p>They’ve represented scores wrongly for other universities as well: </p>

<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board;

<p>They also called it a median, when a median is a single number not a range.</p>

11

<p>Yeah, without researching it I’d say those SAT numbers are the middle two quartiles. Certainly not the median, which cannot be a range.</p>

<p>Historic admit rates: <a href=“http://www.yale.edu/oir/open/pdf_public/W033_Fresh_Admissions.pdf[/url]”>http://www.yale.edu/oir/open/pdf_public/W033_Fresh_Admissions.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
(latest: 7.5%)</p>

<p>Historic SAT Medians: <a href=“http://www.yale.edu/oir/open/pdf_public/W032_Fresh_SATs.pdf[/url]”>http://www.yale.edu/oir/open/pdf_public/W032_Fresh_SATs.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
(latest: 750 on each section, which means combined median is probably about 2250)</p>

<p>Note to OP: Yale has a fine science curriculum, but you do not need a science major to be competitive for med school admission. Most liberal arts curricula, fortified with a moderate amount of chemistry, some science, biology, and math, will qualify you.</p>
