Harvard University had a double digit percentage increase in its early admissions acceptance numbers for the Class of 2018, The Harvard Crimson reports.
The Ivy League school "accepted just over 21% of the 4,692 early action applicants to the Class of 2018," according to The Crimson — an 11% increase in early applicants from the Class of 2017. Harvard also saw a 3% decrease in the number of applications it recieved.
Princeton University also saw an increase in its Class of 2018 early admissions acceptance numbers, although a much smaller rise than Harvard.
According to The Daily Princetonian, the school accepted 714 of 3,854 early action students for the Class of 2018, a 18.5% acceptance rate. Last year, Princeton's early action acceptance rate was 18.3%.
Additionally, although Brown University saw its largest ever early decision pool — 3,088 applicants — the school also posted a slightly higher admissions percentage than last year, The Brown Daily Herald reports.
According to The Herald, Brown "admitted 18.9% of early decision applicants to the class of 2018, extending offers of admission to 583"— a small increase from the 18.5% early admissions rate for the Class of 2017.
Dartmouth College was the first Ivy League school to accept students to the Class of 2018, taking 28% of early decision applicants.
In total, Dartmouth accepted 469 students out of 1,678 early decision applicants — a more than 6% rise from last year's ED applications, according to the school. Dartmouth accepted roughly the same percentage of ED applicants for the Class of 2017.
