Harvard University did not release data on the racial demographics of students accepted via early admission to the Class of 2028, breaking the precedent from last year.
The Harvard Crimson reported on Dec. 14 that “this year’s early admissions cycle marks the first in which race was not considered in Harvard’s admissions process.”
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid William Fitzsimmons told The Crimson he had “no information” about how racial demographics in admissions have changed this cycle.
Fitzsimmons told the paper that Harvard will release figures on race and ethnicity in the entering class after final admissions decisions are made. Students may accept their offers through May 1, 2024.
