The Yale class of 2028 will welcome 72 students who matched through the QuestBridge National College Match Scholarship. The QuestBridge program saw a record-high number of matches across universities this year, with 2,242 students matching with 50 QuestBridge partners.
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.
Following the Supreme Court’s decision to end race-conscious admissions this summer, the Yale Office of Undergraduate Admissions hired two new full-time employees dedicated to outreach and community partnerships; they began last week.
Over 950 guests attended Saturday’s event as the admissions office event invited prospective students and families to learn about how Yale students find belonging on campus and to connect with Yale’s four cultural centers.
