Hey everyone, so recently I've been thinking about applying to Harvard. I know it's a long shot, but can anyone tell me their acceptance rate? Just want to know what I'm up against. Thanks!
Hey there! You're right, Harvard is highly competitive, and it's good to know what you're up against. As of the last admissions cycle, Harvard's acceptance rate was 3.4%. While this number might seem daunting, keep in mind that each application is evaluated holistically, and they're searching for students who excel academically, demonstrate leadership, and have unique qualities or interests.
Don't be discouraged by the low acceptance rate—remember that it's just one factor to consider. Instead, concentrate on developing your strengths and making your application stand out. Good luck!
