Freshman Class Sets Application Records

By Katherine E. Bliss, July 8, 1988

The Harvard class of 1992 has done to matriculation what the 1927 Yankees did to baseball--broke all the records.

Not only did the College receive a record 14,430 applicants, but the number it admitted was one of the lowest in years, with an acceptance rate of only 14.6 percent, according to figures released by the Admissions Office.

The number of those admitted who chose to enter the University also hit a record high of over 73 percent, with the incoming class of 1605 students exceeding last year's admission yield by 3 percent.

The class of 1992 has also set records for the number of minority applicants deciding to enter the College. Next year's freshmen will be 14 percent Asian, 9 percent Black and 5 percent Hispanic.

The yield for Black students this year is 65 percent, while the number of Hispanic students deciding to attend Harvard jumped 10 percent this year, with 59 percent of all those admitted accepting the offer. The percentage of Asian students choosing to come to Harvard exceeds the College's overall acceptance yield, with 79 percent electing to study in Cambridge for the next four years.

The percentage of women entering the College is also the highest since Harvard and Radcliffe combined their admissions boards in 1975. The number of men entering the freshman class still exceeds the number of women, but with the Radcliffe contingent climbing to 43 percent next year, the percentage of female freshmen will be closer to 50 percent than it has ever been.

The number of students who applied to the College's Early Action program exceeded former records as well, with 2075 freshmen applying to Harvard by the November deadline. Harvard's early applicant pool was larger than the group who applied to other Ivy League Early Action programs at Princeton, Yale and Brown. The number admitted early to Harvard was the largest number as well, with 651 students gaining early acceptance to the University.

The students entering the class seem to come from a wider variety of states than in the past,with only 19.6 percent coming from New England. While almost 30 percent of the incoming class is from the Mid Atlantic states, that percentage is slightly down from past years as more students are applying and gaining acceptance from the Pacific Northwest and foreign countries than ever before.

According to Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid William R. Fitzsimmons '67, the number of foreign and Pacific Northwest students has risen because of more extensive recruiting efforts in those areas. He added that the number of 18-year olds in the Pacific area has grown over the past few years.

Fitzsimmons said he feels the combination of Harvard's solid educational offering, the need-blind admissions policy, and minority recruitment policies have contributed to the high number of applicants and admissions records set by the class of 1992.

The dean also attributed the boom in applications to the publicity the school received during the 350th anniversary celebration in the fall of 1986

idk, that doesn't make the caliber better imo

your second point probably does, but is financial aid that much different than 20 years ago?
