That's not my reading of the reported news, but YMMV. See, e.g., the following article from Wash Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/03/26/yale-rescinds-admission-student-linked-scandal-involving-soccer-coach/?utm_term=.29a9188ab15b

Addendum: I pointed out the apparent error to the journalist, who replied: "It is true that Yale rescinded the admission of one of its students, but it's not clear whether the student was actually attending the University and then was dismissed, which is what happened at Stanford. We've been seeking additional information from Yale and other universities; their statements so far have been very carefully worded, and as a result so is our story." In my opinion, his use of an unqualified "only" is not careful wording. Careful wording would have been something more like, "It appears that Stanford is the only ..." rather than "Stanford is the only"

Second Addendum: the journalist pointed out that Yale's statement changed since the Wash Post story (omitting the "current student"), so the WaPo story may have inadvertently been wrong and you may be right.

Oldalum, I guess I owe you an apology.  Seems you were right.  Yale did dismiss a student who was indeed a freshman.

NY Times - mystery solved in family who paid $1.2 million

In reading the article, I was amused, as the attorney for the dismissed student paints a picture of naivete and victimhood.  He argues the parents do not speak English, the student was unaware of how the application process works in the US, and that she did not expect to have much choice about where to go to college.  And that donation was "made to help underprivileged youth".
IMHO, any family that has $1.2 million laying around to give as a "donation" for their daughter's application did not acquire their wealth by being suckers.  Give me a break.
