The handbook introducing the school stresses that the 1,300 new undergraduates entering every year are selected from 12,000 applications. The teacher-student ratio is very low; in the Law School for example there are 570 students and 60 professors, a lower ration than even renowned Harvard Law School.
介紹學校的小冊強調，耶魯大學部每年一千三百多名新生，是從一萬二千封申請函選出的；師生比率極低，以法學院來說，五百七十位學生，卻有六十位教授，低於名聲卓著的哈佛法學院。
