Admissions

Following the 2023 Supreme Court decision regarding the consideration of race in admissions, President Peter Salovey affirmed Yale’s commitment to creating “an inclusive, diverse, and excellent educational environment.” The David Geffen School of Drama unequivocally support Dr. Salovey’s proposition. While we must comply with the Supreme Court decisions, our graduate conservatory’s dedication to inclusive admissions processes will not waver from its focus on applicants’ artistry, self-awareness, collaborative skill, curiosity, resilience, and ambition.
