I was admitted to Yale this week and have been trying to find information on Yale's placement record as well. Any tips on how to figure this out?
TT or not TT, VAP is the question.

^ you rock.
To put this debate to rest: Yale is offering full tuition + 26K + full health insurance.
It would be really interesting to see a metric of placements vis-a-vis dissertation supervisors. Probably much more revealing than the individual school's placement record, which is why we'll never see such a thing.
Current Yale grad student here---there is also a mad amount of money available for summer research outside the US (if that is your thing) thanks to the VERY strong area studies programs.
Funding here is fabulous if you are lucky enough to be admitted. I heard there was a 10% cut on admits in order to continue the customary raise in stipends.
Texas Tech also has mad area studies money for summer travel. It requires very little work for the CIA during your overseas research.
Yale's endowment took a very big hit.
They were invested in OpenTable - so if you want Yale's endowment to go up, make internet reservations to Pepe's.
Up their noses.

Right, when I think cocaine I think Yale (eyes rolling).
They are paying their grad students too much if they can afford it.
Is 26K a sufficient stipend for 12 months in New Haven?
Yes, if you don't need to live in luxury. And the fact that you have to TA for very, very little of the time you're there is nice.
Does the 26K include the guaranteed summer money Yale gives all its grad students?
Yale pays the most and still doesn't get the best students. That reveals much.
At least it used to pay the most.
^^ I think it does. The offer says 26K for 12 months and doesn't mention anything else about summer funding.
"Right, when I think cocaine I think Yale (eyes rolling)."
Good point. To be fair, however, when I think crack I do think New Haven.
^ It's funny because it's true.
If you want to do a really cool field experiment on voter turnout, then go to Yale. Also, if you want easy to find crack-cocaine, then go to Yale.
Yale's placement is horrific this year. One student got a TT job.
^ What is everyone else doing?
Enjoying New Haven?
