From the Crimson:
"Harvard College accepted 3.19 percent of applicants to its Class of 2026 — the lowest rate in the school’s history — as it saw a record high number of candidates apply for the second straight year.
"A total of 1,214 students received offers of admission at 7 p.m. on Thursday, joining the 740 students who were accepted via early admission in December. The acceptance rate is down from the 3.43 percent of students admitted to the Class of 2025 last year — which marked the previous record-low.
“Applications to the College jumped by almost 7 percent, with 61,220 students submitting applications to the school, compared to 57,435 last year.”
Full story:
This acceptance rate is why you should seriously consider attending a school that’s already shown you the love. I would urge you to carefully weigh the benefits of taking off 2 years in the hope that you’ll receive admittance.
