"These remarkable students come to us from across the country and around the globe with boundless curiosity and eagerness to join a community that challenges them to learn deeply, listen generously, and expand their understanding of themselves and the world around them. Even amid shifting economic realities, our commitment to access and opportunity remains unwavering. That nearly half of this class will attend Harvard tuition-free fills me with immense pride and optimism for the future they will help shape."
"The Class of 2029 was drawn from big cities and small towns, suburbs and farms, and from nations around the world, and all students, no matter where they're from, where they went to high school, or what their personal circumstances might be, were admitted to Harvard because they share the extraordinary potential to change the world,"
Harvard College offered admission to 2,003 applicants and enrolled 1,675, producing an 83.6 percent yield rate and marking the fifth consecutive cycle above 83 percent. The admissions pool totaled 47,893 applications, a 10 percent increase from the most recent cycle that required standardized test scores. The Class of 2029 is the first admitted since the Faculty of Arts and Sciences reinstated standardized test scores as required. The class includes students from 92 countries and all 50 states; international students represent 15 percent with a 90.3 percent yield and eight deferrals. Nearly half of the class will attend tuition-free.
