The New York Post said on the 17th that data released by Harvard University a few days ago showed that compared with last year, the number of applications for early admission from high school students received by the school this year has decreased by 17%. According to the report, this is related to the fact that the school has been mired in an "anti-Semitic" storm recently.
According to the report, Harvard University has 7,921 early admission applicants this year, compared with 9,553 last year. This year is the lowest number of early application applications for Harvard since 2020. At the same time, there has been an increase in early admission applicants to Yale University. The school had 7,856 applicants this year, an increase of 14%, the second-highest number of applicants in the school's history.
Bloomberg reported that Bob, a former college counselor at Mamaronek High School in New York, said that the "anti-Semitic" storm is one of the main factors in the decline of Harvard's admissions appeal, and that both Jewish and Arab students fear that their personal safety is threatened. It is understood that the early admission of Harvard and Yale University is a non-binding invitation, that is, students do not need to come to the school to report after receiving the early admission notice, and they can also choose other schools. Harvard's early application deadline for early admission this year is Nov. 1, and early admission students have until May 1 next year to consider their final choices. (Liu Jiang).
