Class of 2012 Statistics

[Mondo]

<p>Prediction: Harvard will be accepting around 50 off the wait-list.</p>

<p>I know of many who would eagerly choose Princeton or Yale over Harvard. You have a lot of HYP-admits. Yield is going to be mighty high for sure!</p>

[Ijmom]

<p>How many people are in the waitlist? Is it 100, 200.. 1000?</p>

[CNI]

<p>I’m guessing 1000-2000. There are 3(that i know of) from my school alone (out of 5 applicants):/</p>

[stupidkid]

<p>wow only 83 permanent residents accepted…</p>

[CNI]

<p>^ whoa where did that stat come from? Are you at a disadvantage if you’re a permanent resident?</p>

[stupidkid]

<p>^post #14 on this thread. I wouldn’t think so. but the 83 doesn’t seem to be very many. maybe not that many applied.</p>

<p>

Geographic representation remained similar to last year’s. Nearly 26 percent of the admitted students are from the mid-Atlantic, 20 percent from the Western and Mountain States, 16 percent from New England, 18 percent from the South, 11 percent from the Midwest, and 10 percent from the U.S. territories and abroad. Foreign citizens comprise nearly 9 percent of the admitted students. In addition, a significant number of other entering students will bring an international perspective, including many Americans who have lived abroad, 87 U.S. dual citizens, and 83 U.S. permanent residents. Together, foreign citizens, U.S. duals, and U.S. permanent residents comprise over 17 percent of the class. A total of 77 countries are represented in the Class of 2012.

<p>^
The article says 87 U.S. dual citizens were accepted. As a dual citizen, is it a disadvantage?</p>

[stupidkid]

<p>^I agree that being a permanent resident is not a disadvantage since they’re considered domestic. But you’d think that there were more permanent resident applicants than dual citizens.</p>

[friedrice]

<p>I’m asking if being a dual citizen have any effect on admission. Call me an optimist, but 87 dual citizens seems like a really high number. Are those considered domestic or international applicants?</p>

[xjayz]

<p>No bearing. I think they included those to just highlight the diversity of the accepted class.</p>

[An0maly]

<p>Do you think being a dual citizen will affect chances of admission? Because I’m applying for dual citizenship soon, certainly before my senior year.</p>

[Rosh420]

<p>It’s not a disadvantage to be a Dual citizen… nor is it a disadvantage to be a permanent resident..</p>

<p>Rosh420, are you still not able to login to the admitted website? My S didn’t get email yesterday, and he could not login the admitted website either. Thanks</p>

[BrandoIsCool]
