<p>Here are the latest quotes from Harvard’s Admissions to the NYTimes:</p>
<p>In an e-mail to The Choice, William R. Fitzsimmons, the dean of admission at Harvard, said, “When we eliminated early admission, we promised a comprehensive review of that decision at the end of three years — thus the study which has been ongoing for a few months.”</p>
<p>In a separate e-mail, a Harvard spokesman, Jeff Neal, added:</p>
<p>We have been very pleased with our admissions program since eliminating early action three years ago. Since moving to a single admissions cycle, Harvard has been able to recruit more intensively across a broader spectrum of high schools, and prospective Harvard students have been encouraged to take more time to consider their college options and to avoid making a premature decision about their final college choice.</p>
<p>During this period, we have received record numbers of applications each year and welcomed entering classes of increasing excellence and economic diversity.</p>
<p>As with any aspect of our admissions and financial aid programs, we continue to evaluate the elimination of early admission on a regular basis to ensure that it serves well both our students and the mission of Harvard College.</p>
