Does anyone know what percentage of students at Harvard are international? I'm an international student considering applying, and I'm just curious about the level of diversity I'd be joining if I get in. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Generally, international students made up about 12% of the undergraduate student body at Harvard. This percentage may vary slightly from year to year, but generally, you can expect around 10-15% of the student population to be international.
Keep in mind, though, that this number doesn't account for the rich cultural diversity of domestic students or students with international backgrounds, some of whom may be first-generation Americans and still have close ties to another country. So, at Harvard you'd be joining an overall vibrant, diverse community of students with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
Good luck with your application!
