Harvard Applicants: How many students usually apply?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows approximately how many students apply to Harvard each year? Trying to get a sense of the competition.

a year ago

Hey there! On average, around 40,000 to 45,000 students apply to Harvard each year. However, it's important to note that these numbers can fluctuate based on various factors, such as application trends and current events.

While it's true that Harvard is highly competitive, don't let the numbers discourage you. Make sure to focus on presenting your unique qualities, experiences, and strengths in your application. The key is to differentiate yourself from other applicants and demonstrate that you would make a valuable addition to Harvard's diverse student body. Good luck with your application process!
