<p>Does anyone have a chart of a recent year where it shows how many kids got in from which U.S. state/foreign country?</p>
<p>It’s not quite by state, but it does give an idea by region:</p>
<p>[Harvard</a> College Admissions § Applying: Statistics](<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/statistics.html]Harvard”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/statistics.html)</p>
<p>What was the expected class size for 2015?</p>
<p>I believe for Harvard it’s around 1,660.</p>
<p>Oh ok. So do they assume that people are not going to matriculate and accept extra?</p>
<p>Yes, that refers to their yield rate, or the percentage of admits that will ultimately matriculate. There are always a few that will pass up the school for some other top college <em>cough</em> <em>Stanford</em> <em>cough</em> or perhaps a full-ride at a state school. For H, this number seems to hover between 72% and 77%, but it might be affected by the return of early action. I think that among early admits alone, there’s something like a 90% yield.</p>
<p>LOL Harvard left out Caucasians under ethnicity. If you calculate the % for whites, it comes out to be 56%. Talk about diversity and white bias.</p>
<p>^You’re joking about the white bias comment, right?</p>
<p>@HSMCCP: You do realize that the white people comprise something like 80% of the U.S. population?</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ve ever seen the ‘white bias’ card played on CC before. It’s usually the other way around…</p>
<p>^That’s why I assumed he was joking…lol If there is a bias, it is definitely against whites.</p>
<p>Of course I was kidding. Does anyone not understand what it means to trololol anymore?</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ve ever understood what it means to “trololol.”</p>
<p>lol…sarcasm doesn’t always play out well over teh interwebz</p>
<p>On the other hand, snide facial expressions don’t either
win win?</p>
