[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started following UrbanBaby (now defunct NYC version of DCUM) 12 years ago and EVERY year the college admissions posts referenced a “bloodbath.” Test optional has obviously changed the process and increased numbers of applicants, but really it hasn’t changed all that much[/quote]

Acceptance rates are literally half what they were just 2 years ago, and the number of urm, and first Gen has doubled.  Even if you believe in those institutional priorities (which I do), that’s a substantial decline in the number of slots available for white and Asian umc students.[/quote]
This. Things have changed. [/quote]

Harvard class of 2023 was 22% black, Latino and Native American

Harvard class of 2028 was 28%.

You have an odd definition of “doubled”[/quote]
Must be a typo here. College class of 2028 are current high school juniors.

Harvard is going to the Factbook format (to do whatever they want) rather than continuing to release Common Data Sets.

Anyway, freshmen fall 2019 (class of 2023) had 146 black, 195 Hispanic, 4 Native American = 20.9% of the freshman class. Adding 127 "two or more races" = 28.7% of 1644.  https://bpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites.harvard.edu/dist/6/210/files/2023/02/harvard_cds_2019-2020.pdf

Freshmen fall 2021 had 186 black, 228 Hispanic, 5 Native American = 21.4%. Adding 139 "two or more races" = 28.6% of 1949. https://oir.harvard.edu/files/huoir/files/harvard_cds_2021-2022.pdf[/quote]
