In the past few months, the most highly selective colleges in the U.S. released their Early Admission statistics for the Class of 2022.  As always, many more students applied than were accepted. And once again, it was harder than ever to get in.

Below is a chart of some of the early acceptance data released by a sample of different highly selective schools.

An article in “The Daily Pennsylvanian” by Julia Schorr entitled “How Penn matches up: a breakdown of early admissions statistics across the Ivy League,” offers a look at some other interesting numbers from Ivy League colleges.

First-Generation

Princeton admitted the most First-Generation students (14%) and Dartmouth accepted the second highest number (13%). First-gen students are the first in their families to attend college.

Students of Color

Harvard accepted the highest number of early accepted students who self-identified as students of color (49.7%).  Princeton had the second highest percentage (44%).

Legacy

The University of Pennsylvania admitted the highest percentage (25%) of legacy students to their incoming class. Dartmouth College had the lowest legacy percentage (16%) among early admitted students in the incoming class.
