Admissions
Today, Harvard's undergraduate and graduate schools are among the most selective in the United States. Harvard's overall undergraduate acceptance rate for 2006 was 9.3%[5]. Harvard College's student population is almost equally balanced between male and female undergraduates, with women slightly outnumbering men in several of the most recent entering classes [6]. Students admitted to the college often score high marks on the SAT I, with a median score of 1495 out of 1600 for the class of 2009 [7]. One estimate of the average SAT score under the new grading system is 2200 out of a possible 2400[8]. Like other schools in the Ivy League, Harvard College does not offer athletic scholarships.
The 2006 figures from US News and World Report indicated that the business school admitted 14.3% of its applicants, the school of public health 4.5%, the engineering division 12.5%, the law school 11.3%, the education school 14.6%, and the medical school 4.9%[9].
Undergraduate admissions
In 2006, Princeton's overall acceptance rate was 10.2%, accepting 1792 students from a pool of 17,563 applicants. 599 of these were accepted Early Decision out of a total 2236 ED applicants, for a 26.8% Early Decision acceptance rate. Regular Decision was much harsher, with acceptances going to only 1193 out of 15327 applicants (this includes deferred ED students as well), for a 7.8% admittance rate.
After initiatives by its peer institutions, Harvard, Yale and Stanford, Princeton has undergone much criticism in recent years[citation needed] for still holding onto its binding early admission program. While at Princeton those admitted under the program are bound to attend the school, those admitted under such an early program at its peer institutions are allowed to attend anywhere.
Admissions
Yale College offered admission to 8.6% of the more than 21,000 applicants to the Class of 2010, which represents the lowest admissions rate in the history of the Ivy League.[5] [6]
In recent years, more than 71% of those offered admission to Yale College have chosen to attend. [7]
Yale College currently has students from all 50 United States and 73 other countries. Half of all Yale students are women, more than 30% are minorities, 9% are international students, and 55% come from public schools.[8].
