Four seniors from Yale College will attend Oxford University to continue their graduate studies under the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, awarded to approximately a hundred students worldwide.
The 7,866 students who applied to join the class of 2028 will be the first cohort evaluated since the Supreme Court declared race-conscious admissions unconstitutional.
By automating winter clothing grants, increasing travel allowances and eliminating required reapplication for Questbridge match students, the office hopes to reduce barriers to receiving aid and devote more time to working directly with students.
In his first public comment on the subject since the fall of affirmative action, University President Peter Salovey said that the future of legacy admissions preferences at Yale is under deliberation.
