Harvard admitted 3.4% of its undergraduate applicants this year. Yale, 4.6%. Columbia just 3.7%. Last night at 7 p.m. on the east coast, the eight colleges that make up the Ivy League let applicants know whether they were accepted or rejected.
After the pandemic forced most schools to adopt test-optional admission policies, applications soared at the nation’s most selective schools. Some 57,435 students applied to Harvard, an increase of 43% over the previous year. Harvard admitted 1,968, including those who applied early. Columbia received 60,551 applicants, a 51% surge, and admitted 2,218.
In their admissions announcements, schools touted the increased number of nonwhite students they had accepted and the number qualified to receive government Pell grants, awarded to students from low-income families.
