Did you apply to Harvard?

Only 7 percent will get in, school officials said today, the most selective year yet at one of the world’s most selective universities. The university announced it has admitted 2,046 students for the 1,655 spots in next year’s freshmen class. 17.6 percent are Asian-American!!!

The applicant pool reached an unprecedented level of achievement, university officials said. More than 2,900 scored a perfect 800 on their SAT critical reading test, and 3,500 scored perfectly on the SAT math test. Nearly 3,700 were ranked first in their senior class. The stiffer competition is not surprising, given the record 29,112 applications this year for the Class of 2013, a 5.6 percent increase from last year.

Those are some serious students! Accepted students will receive an email tomorrow at 5pm.
