<p>Have the statistics been released on the class profile of 2018? This is my top choice!</p>

<p>I highly doubt the stats are going to change that much from 2017: <a href=“Admissions Statistics | Harvard”>https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/admissions-statistics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Okay thanks!! I was hoping to see stats on gpa and SAT scores but I think I fit the mold. I have to keep up with my extracurriculars though and am doing some additional volunteering this summer. Am hoping to obtain a few letters of rec to really help my applications.</p>

<p>The most recent [Common</a> Data Set](<a href=“http://www.provost.harvard.edu/institutional_research/common_data_set.php"]Common”>http://www.provost.harvard.edu/institutional_research/common_data_set.php) has (almost) what you want. It’s still a few years behind the present, but here too, I doubt much has changed. The link is to the page that lists all of them, in case it gets updated.</p>

<p>Note that you’ll want to do BETTER than the bottom 25% to maximize your chances. No one knows exact numbers, but we assume the spots for students with the lowest scores are reserved for legacies, URMs, recruited athletes, etc.</p>

<p>This Harvard Freshman survey has the most recent information: <a href=“The Harvard Crimson | Class of 2017”>http://features.thecrimson.com/2013/frosh-survey/admissions.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

I like the scattergram as it nicely highlights how more than half the class had an unweighted 4.0 GPA at their high school regardless of test scores. To me that implies that Harvard puts more weight – or slightly more weight, however you want to read the data – on a student’s unweighted GPA at their high school rather than test scores.</p>
