Harvard's Class of 2028: Acceptance Rate Drops Amid Turmoil

Harvard College accepted 3.59 percent of applicants to its Class of 2028, marking the highest acceptance rate in four years. The admissions cycle was the first since the fall of affirmative action, which prohibited the consideration of race during the process. The College offered admission to 1,245 applicants, with a total of 1,937 students admitted. Notably, race and ethnicity data for the incoming class was not released, and tuition continued to rise. The Class of 2028 is diverse, with students from all 50 states and over 94 countries, and the College remains test-optional through the Class of 2030. Students have until May 1 to accept or deny their offers of admission.
