Paper Submission of the Application

Step 1

To apply for admission to Yale College using the paper application, please submit the Common Application and the Yale Common Application Supplement. Please indicate on the front of the envelope containing your Common Application and Yale Supplement whether they are to be reviewed for Early Action or for Regular Decision.

Step 2

As a paper applicant, please submit your application fee of $75 in the form of a personal check payable to Yale University. Staple this check to page 4 of the Common Application. You may also apply for a fee waiver request. (If you plan to pay the application fee with a credit card or a debit card, you will have to apply online and submit your application electronically.)

Step 3

In addition to the Common Application and the Yale Common Application Supplement, several other forms will be needed to complete your application to Yale: 2 teacher evaluations from instructors who have taught you in academic subjects, the School Report Form, and the Midyear Report Form.

You can download and print these forms from the right-hand column on this page.

Please be sure that the envelopes sent to Yale containing these forms all are marked Early Action or Regular Decision. Your application will be processed more quickly as a result.

Please consult the Calendar of Due Dates for the appropriate deadlines.
