Yale accepts the Common application, the Coalition application, and the QuestBridge application. The school does not have a preference for one application over the others, so you should pick whichever application you want to complete. It might be a good idea to review the short answer questions and essay prompts for each application for Yale to aid in your decision. nnThe QuestBridge application is a free application that allows students with lower socioeconomic backgrounds to apply to multiple selective colleges simultaneously. To apply to Yale with the QuestBridge application, you must first submit the National College Match application through QuestBridge by the deadline in September. In October, QuestBridge will notify students if they are QuestBridge finalists. If you are selected as a finalist, you can then submit the QuestBridge application and the additional application materials to Yale.
