耶鲁大学本科课程申请条件

International students follow essentially the same procedure and use the same application forms as all other students applying to Yale. For a list of these forms, and instructions for applying to Yale, please visit Application Instructions and Required Application Components. Since some of these forms may be unfamiliar to you, we will provide additional information about them here.Please note that if your application materials include any documents that are not in English, you must provide us with an official English translation in addition to the original documents.

Common Application and Yale-Specific Questions

The Common Application and Yale-specific questions include space for you to tell us more about your background, activities, interests, and motivation in your own voice. You should tell us about your extracurricular activities in the space provided and write two essays on topics of your choice.

$80 Application Fee or Fee Waiver

Applicants should pay the $80 application fee by credit card, debit card, electronic check, or PayPal via the payments form on the Common Application website. The Common Application website requires that you pay your fee online using one of the methods provided. You may not submit a personal check or money order to pay an application fee.

You may request that your application fee be waived. Qualifications for a fee waiver include the following:

Your family receives public assistance.

You live in a federally subsidized public housing, a foster home or are homeless.

You are a ward of the state or an orphan.

You can provide a supporting statement from a school official, college access counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader.

Secondary School Report including Transcript and Counselor Recommendation

All international applicants must submit a complete Secondary School Report. That form gives Yale vital information about your studies and academic performance over the past four years. The form should include all grades you have received as well as predicted grades if applicable. Part of the form must be filled out by your secondary school counselor. If you do not have a counselor, you may ask a tutor, house master, principal, academic advisor, or other comparable school official to complete the form and recommendation.

GPA and School Rank

The Common Application Secondary School Report form has designated spaces for your GPA (Grade Point Average) and class rank. If you do not have a GPA or a rank, leave that space blank. You may report your GPA on any scale (4.0, 5.0, 12.0, 18.0, 100, etc.)

Mid-Year Report

Yale only requires applicants to submit this form if they receive new grades in the middle of the school year (by February 1). If you have already finished high school, you do not need to submit this form. If you do not receive new grades by February 1, you do not need to submit this form. Many international students do not need to send us this form.

Final Report

Yale only requires this form from students it admits. The form provides us with your final school grades and examination marks when you finish high school.

Teacher Evaluations

Your application must include recommendations from two of your teachers. Your recommendations should come from recent teachers in academic subjects. As with all documents, if the teacher evaluations are not written in English, you must provide us with an official English translation.

Standardized Testing Requirements: SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS, PTE

All applicants for freshman admission should submit either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT Plus Writing. For more information on Yale’s standardized test policy and our policy on Score Choice, please visit our Standardized Testing page. Yale understands that standardized tests are just one component of an application to Yale. We will look at your test scores within the context of your entire file.

There is no minimum score required for admission, nor is there a score that will guarantee admission. Average test score ranges (twenty-fifth to seventy-fifth percentiles) for enrolled freshman are as follows:

SAT-Verbal: 700-800

SAT-Math: 700-780

SAT-Writing: 700-790

ACT: 30-34

You have two ways to complete Yale’s standardized testing requirement. We have no preference between these options. You may choose to take either:

The SAT Reasoning Test

OR

The ACT Plus Writing

Only students whose home country of schooling (for example, mainland China) do not have an SAT or ACT testing center are exempt from these testing requirements, but must take either the TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE instead. No other substitutions are acceptable.

SAT Subject Tests are not required for admission, but are recommended.

Testing for Non-Native English Speakers:

Students at Yale must be able to express themselves fluently in spoken and written American English. If you are not a native English speaker and you haven’t received at least two years of secondary education in an English-medium curriculum, Yale strongly recommends that you take any one of the following tests for non-native English speakers.

TOEFL

The following minimum scores are required:

100 on the internet-based TOEFL

600 on the paper-based TOEFL

250 on the computer-based TOEFL

IELTS

You may submit the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test in lieu of the TOEFL. The minimum acceptable score is 7.

Pearson Test of English (PTE)

You may submit the Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic in lieu of the TOEFL or IELTS. The minimum acceptable score is 70.

Financial Aid for International Students

Yale’s financial aid policies for foreign citizens are similar to those for U.S. citizens: need-blind admissions and need-based aid. “Need-blind” means that Yale College admits students on the basis of academic and personal promise, without regard to their ability to pay. “Need-based” means that financial aid packages are based on individual needs assessments, not based on merit (academic, athletic or otherwise). International students are evaluated using a needs analysis that takes into account the relative differences between the US economy and the economy of students’ home countries.

You can find international financial aid forms on the Financial Aid website. If you have any questions or if your family has special circumstances or expenses, we encourage you to contact Student Financial Services to help us understand your financial situation more completely.
