Is there a list somewhere with college enrollment numbers for top 100 (or more) ranked colleges? I mean number of enrolled freshmen, not admission percentages.
For Instance:
Harvard xxxx new freshmen 2021
MIT xxxx new freshmen 2021
Princeton xxxx new freshmen 2021

Google common data set for each school. Those numbers are listed in section C.

If you want to be lazy and imprecise (like me), you can just take any of the guidebooks and divide undergrad enrollment by 4. It my not be 2021 numbers, but it will be close.
If you want one source for all 2021 numbers, I don’t think those common data sets are published yet. And not all schools do them (eg UChicago). You could probably google the 2021 enrollment question school by school. 10 schools won’t take long, 100 might, though.
College Board has this information on its website for each school that you select: click on the “Admissions” tab then go to the heading for “Acceptance Rate”. It doesn’t tell you what academic year the acceptance/enrollment information is from, however.
This information will not be available for high school class of 2021/college class of 2025 until the Common Data Sets are posted over the winter and spring 2022. IPEDS will be updated with this information beginning June 2022 (College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics)
Other than that, you can hunt down this information for specific colleges yourself, school by school. Sometimes they will publish the new enrolled class size somewhere.
