Recommendations from Teachers and Counselors
We encourage teachers and counselors to submit the required forms to us by the postmark deadlines above whenever possible. We understand that it may not be possible in some cases for teachers and counselors to meet these deadlines, and we will make reasonable allowances. This will not negatively impact your chance of admission.

*Please note: we cannot guarantee that February ACT results will arrive in time for consideration. To increase the likelihood of a timely report, take the test in December or earlier, and list Yale as a score recipient when you register for the test.
