No. The way you apply will not affect your chances of being admitted to Yale. We treat online and paper applications equally in the admissions process. If you have internet access, however, we strongly encourage you to apply online, using the Common Application and Yale Supplement. It generally takes far longer to process a paper application than an online application, especially close to the deadline dates. For the same reason, we encourage you to have your teachers and counselor submit their forms online if they can.
