Harvard’s early admission applications have decreased by 17 percent, reaching a four-year low, amidst ongoing scrutiny over antisemitism scandals.
In contrast, Yale University experienced an increase in early applicants, while the University of Pennsylvania also saw a rise in applications despite facing similar scrutiny.
The decrease in applications occurred before a controversial congressional hearing involving Harvard’s president and other university leaders. (Trending: Prominent LGBTQ Activist Arrested Over Disturbing Charges)
“Harvard has suffered a 17 percent drop in early admission applications, with just 7,921 high school seniors vying to secure their spot at the university, compared to the 9,553 that applied early last year, according to figures released by the school,” the report found.
“That figure is the smallest number since the start of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, but is still more than the amount of early applications Harvard received in 2017 through 2019,” the report added.
Additionally, Harvard faced backlash following a pro-terror statement signed by some student groups, prompting subsequent vague responses from the university leadership.
This comes as Harvard has been criticized for its handling of free speech issues, and its president’s academic credentials have been called into question.
