<p>anyway, back to the topic</p>

<p>the number has risen to close to 4000. meaning definitely more than 3700. prob over 3900</p>

142

<p>haha i trust byerly. harvard just did damage control with rounding up, to not put off people applying regular decision. giving a number showing an over 10 percent drop probably would make a lot of potential applicants wonder "why"</p>

143

<p>From the 12/16/04 Harvard Gazette:</p>

<p>885 admitted SCEA out of 4,213 Apps
11.4% international or dual plus 3% permanent resident
18% Asian American
8.7% African American
3.4% Hispanic (I guess "Other")
2% Mexican American
0.7% Native American
0.9% Puerto Rican
3,120 deferred
135 rejected
63 incomplete
10 withdrew
46.3% admitted = women</p>

144

<p>Holy.....that's only 8 Puerto Ricans.....:(.....I ....am....done for.....:(</p>

<p>unless of course like less than 25 applied....</p>

145

<p>Does it say how many of each ethnicity applied?</p>

146

<p>whoa so many deferrals.</p>

147

<p>Yeah, that's ~18 Mexican-Americans.</p>

<p>Edit: Math ... sigh. :)</p>

148

<p>Are you sure...? Are those percentages of those who were admitted? or those who applied?</p>

<p>I calculated 17 or 18 mexican americans...what did ya do?</p>

149

<p>See my previous post. :)</p>

150

<p>So are these those who were admitted EA or applied EA? :)</p>

151

<p>why are there 63 incompletes. Shouldnt harvard contact thoser who have missing documents?</p>

152

<p>Of course. And they do. All schools with early programs (and any admissions programs, for that matter), have a certain number of people who start the process and then - for whatever reason - fail to complete it.</p>
