Light & VerityBy the numbers: the new classDemographics in the second class after the end of affirmative action. The Yale College Class of 2029 is the second class to be admitted after the 2023 Supreme Court decision that barred universities from using race as a factor in admissions. Data on the new class show that while there were fluctuations, the numbers for all categories remain within the typical range for the years before the court’s decision. The chart below shows the self-reported background of incoming first-years from the US in each of the last five years, as a percentage of the class. (Totals exceed 100 percent because some students indicated two or more categories.) It does not include international students, who make up 10 percent of the Class of 2029.
