Hi there! I'm considering applying to Haverford College and was wondering if anyone knows the acceptance rate for recent years. I know acceptance rates change from year to year, so anything relatively recent would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!
Hello! In recent years, Haverford College has had an acceptance rate of around 10-15%. While this number might change slightly from year to year, it should give you a rough idea of the selectivity of the school. Keep in mind that your individual chances of acceptance depend on a variety of factors, though, including your GPA, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, and personal essays, more so than Haverford's overall rate.
When considering Haverford, remember that the college values a strong sense of community and small class sizes, as well as a commitment to honor and integrity. As you work on your application and essays, try to showcase these values and how they align with your own. You can read more about how to do so on CollegeVine's blog, which contains a detailed breakdown of how to tackle each of Haverford's school-specific supplemental essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-haverford-college-essays.
Best of luck with your application to Haverford!
