Major prestigious universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, and Brown have started announcing their early admission admissions results.<\/p>\n
Harvard notified early admission applicants of their acceptances on the 12th.However, Harvard decided not to release statistics on the total number of early admission applicants and successful applicants starting this year, breaking with its practice of about 70 years.<\/p>\n
Previously, Harvard released acceptance rates and statistics on successful applicants when announcing admissions results, but it has decided not to provide such information starting with the fall 2025 freshmen.<\/p>\n
Harvard\u2019s school newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, reported that \u201cthis is the latest in a series of policy changes following the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling last year to ban affirmative action in college admissions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other Ivy League prestigious universities, Princeton and Cornell also notified their early admission admissions results on the 12th, but did not release detailed information such as acceptance rates.<\/p>\n
Brown University announced its early admissions acceptances on the 13th. According to the Brown University Admissions Office, 906 out of 5,048 early admission applicants were accepted.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s acceptance rate of 17.9% is the highest among Brown University\u2019s early admissions in the past five years. This is because the number of early admission applicants decreased by about 19% from 6,244 last year to 5,048 this year, while the number of accepted applicants increased by about 1%, making admissions competition less competitive.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, among the Ivy League universities, Yale is planning to notify applicants of their early admissions acceptances on the 17th, Columbia on the 18th, and the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) on the 19th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
