Hey everyone! I heard that Harvard's admission rate has been fluctuating over the years. Does anyone have any info on the most recent admission rates for both early and regular decision?
Hey! You're right that admission rates can fluctuate over time, and at highly selective schools like Harvard, the trend is typically downward. In recent years, Harvard's overall admission rate has been around 3-5, whereas about 10 years ago it was slightly above 5%. Early Action (EA) rates are known to be slightly higher than RD rates, but Harvard doesn't release the exact number publicly.
However, it's crucial to note that applying early only provides a slight advantage and should not be the sole deciding factor in your application strategy. Your school choice and the quality of your application, including essays and extracurriculars, are more essential in determining your chances of being accepted.
For detailed information on the most recent admission rates at Harvard, you can check Harvard's admissions website, news sources, or other reputable college information platforms.
Best of luck with your application journey!
