For International Students:

International students are encouraged to follow the same application process as all other candidates, adhering to similar requirements:

Visit our Application Instructions Components page for detls on these requirements along with instructions.

Given that some of these requirements may be new or unfamiliar to international applicants, additional guidance is provided below to help clarify the expectations.

All students seeking admission in the first year must submit one of the following applications:

1. The Coalition Application

2. The Common Application

3. The QuestBridge National College Match Application

Yale accepts any of these applications equally and without preference for one over another. Applicants should submit only one application per admissions cycle.

Additional Requirements for All First-Year Applicants:

• $80 Application Fee or Fee Wver: Pay the $80 application fee through either the Common App or Coalition App online platform.

  • Application Fee Wver: International students can request a fee wver based on family size and income, expressed in US dollars. This is outlined on our fee wver page.

• Teacher Counselor Recommations: Request recommations from two teachers who have taught you in core subjects like English, foreign languages, mathematics, science, or social studies. It's advisable that these recommations come from your final year of secondary school education.

  • Additionally, include a recommation from your school counselor or an administrative leader such as a house master, principal, or academic advisor.

• School Report Transcript: Your school administrator should submit both an official transcript and the School Report form. If any form questions do not apply to your institution, they can be left unanswered.

  • Materials must be sent electronically through the Common App or Coalition App platform; paper submissions are accepted as well but less preferred.

• Standardized Test Scores: ACT, AP exams, IB results, or SAT scores are necessary components of your application. that these tests serve as one piece of a holistic evaluation and do not have specific score thresholds for admission.

  • There is no minimum required score; however, your application will be reviewed with other factors in mind.

• English Proficiency Tests: Non-native English speakers who haven't completed secondary education entirely in English must take an English proficiency test. We accept TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge English qualifications, and DET among others.

  • For competitive candidates applying through these tests, scores of at least 100 on the internet-based TOEFL or equivalent are recommed.

• Mid-Year Final Reports: Submit a Mid-Year Report if you haven't received new grades by February 1. Admission holders will need to submit their Final Report, which provides concluding secondary school results and exam marks.
