Hey everyone, I'm considering applying to Harvard University. I know it's quite competitive, but I couldn't find updated information on the acceptance rate. Anyone got any idea on the current numbers?
Harvard University, indeed, is one of the most competitive institutions to get into. For the 2024-2025 application cycle, the admission rate at Harvard stood at about 3.4%. To give you an idea of scale, they received approximately 57,000 applications and offered admission to around 1,968 students. So you're right, it's very competitive, but remember that admission statistics are only part of the picture. Focus on presenting your best self in your application and demonstrating your genuine interest in Harvard. Best of luck with your application!
