Official Harvard SCEA Class of 2019 Applicants Thread

Colleges & Universities Harvard University
2201

<p>@Visionary123 I don’t know where you got your info, but it is wrong. Ivy League rules state that HYP can recruit a maximum of 230 athletes per year. The reality for Harvard is the number is closer to 200-205. Last year, 992 applicants were admitted SCEA, so that’s nowhere near 60% athletic recruits.</p>

2202

<p>@Visionary123‌ that doesn’t leave much room for the rest of us : / </p>

2203

<p>Sorry, my bad, I didn’t mean for Early Action only - I meant for both the Early Action and Regular Decision applicant pools combined. And, it’s true, my estimate was a little off, as last year the total number of recruited-athletes (EA and RD) represented a 40% of the students accepted. I truly apologize…</p>

2204

<p>^I got the 40% information from last year’s class survey. Look it up on the Crimson (I don’t the link to survey with me right now).</p>

2205

<p>@Visionary123‌ class of 2018 recruits made up 11% of the class. In 2017 it was 12.5%. Lol dont freak out people

2207

<p>“A total of 1,026 students participated in varsity athletics in the 2012-2013 academic year—nearly one in six of Harvard undergraduates.” (<a href=“The Other Field of Study | The Harvard Crimson”>http://features.thecrimson.com/2013/other-field-study/&lt;/a&gt;) Mind you, these numbers also include walk-ons, so, as others have pointed out, nowhere near 60 or 40%.</p>

2208

<p>I’m wrong, and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused - it wasn’t my intention. I guess my sources of information (two current Harvard freshmen) were trying to freak me out. I’ll make sure to double check my sources next time. Sorry…</p>

2209

<p>When are they going to release the info!</p>
