As of now, early admission notifications for the eight Ivy League schools—Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, Dartmouth College, and Cornell University—have all been released. Based on the admission data published by these institutions, Worldway Group has summarized and compiled the following information to share with you:
I. Overall Admission Situation
1、Application numbers have fluctuated. The number of applicants to each school has varied this year: Brown saw a 21% surge in Early Decision (ED) applications, Columbia and Dartmouth rose by 9%, and Yale and the University of Pennsylvania saw a 5% increase. However, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, and Harvard saw slight declines in application numbers, which may indicate that more students are adopting more prudent early application strategies, seeking better admission opportunities rather than blindly pursuing top-tier schools.
2、Ivy League schools are placing greater emphasis on student background diversity. This has become the most important selection factor for every school. Almost every institution mentioned considerations for diversity in their admission press releases. The proportion of minority students and first-generation college students has increased significantly. Support and financial aid for students from low-income families have also clearly improved.
3、Internationalization of Ivy League undergraduates: Columbia University ranks first in undergraduate internationalization at 16%, while Princeton University ranks last at only 10%.
The above shows the international student ratios and estimated international student numbers for the Class of 2023 at each Ivy League school.
4、Except for Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, other Ivy League schools use binding Early Decision (ED, meaning a commitment to enroll if admitted) application programs to fill as much as 45% or even over 50% of their annual admission quotas, aiming to secure sufficient enrollment and reduce the risk of potential fluctuations in yield rates.
3、II. Admission Situation of the Eight Ivy League Schools
1、Harvard University
Data shows that Harvard University received 6,968 early admission applications for the Class of 2023 and ultimately issued 935 admission offers. Two trends in Harvard's early admissions this year are particularly noteworthy: first, the proportion of admitted Asian-American freshmen reached 26.1%, compared to 24.2% last year; second, the proportion of international students rose significantly from 8.2% last year to 11.2%.
2、Yale University
Data shows that Yale College issued 794 (842 last year) admission offers to 6,016 (5,733 last year) applicants in the early admission round for the Class of 2023.
3、Princeton University
Data shows that Princeton University issued 743 admission offers to 5,335 students who applied through its Single-choice early action (SCEA) program for the Class of 2023. The admission rate this year was 13.9%, compared to 14.7% last year.
4、Columbia University
Data shows that the Columbia University undergraduate admissions office received a total of 4,461 early decision applications for the Class of 2023, an increase of 376 over last year, setting a historical record for Columbia. As of the time of writing, Columbia has not provided other admission data.
5、University of Pennsylvania
Data shows that the University of Pennsylvania admitted 1,279 students (1,312 last year) from its ED applicant pool, with an admission rate of 18%, hitting a new historical low for the school. Last year's admission rate was 18.5%, a significant drop from the 22% and 23.2% for the Classes of 2021 and 2022.
6、Brown University
Data shows that Brown University admitted 18% of its early decision applicants for the Class of 2023. The number of early applications to the school this year reached a record high of 4,230, a 21% surge compared to the same period last year, with 769 students receiving admission.
7、Dartmouth College
Data shows that Dartmouth College received 2,474 applications through its Early Decision program for the Class of 2023, reaching a historical high for the school. Of these, 574 students were admitted, with an admission rate of 23%.
8、Cornell University
Data shows that among students applying to Cornell University for the Class of 2023, 6,159 applied during the ED stage, with 1,395 admitted, resulting in an admission rate of 22.5%.
III. Ivy League Admissions in China
1、Admission numbers in China are basically the same as last year
2、The popularity of Chinese undergraduates at each school revealed
Among them, Cornell University places the most importance on the Chinese market, with 78 students admitted via ED for the Class of 2023 in China, accounting for 5.6% of the total early admission students and as much as 45% of international students. In contrast, Harvard University almost ignores Chinese students; only 4 students with Chinese backgrounds were admitted in the early round for the Class of 2023, less than 0.5% of admitted students and only 4% of admitted international students. The following is an overview of Chinese student admissions:
It can be seen that the number and rate of admissions for international and Chinese students at the eight Ivy League schools are very low. However, as a powerhouse of higher education, the United States has always been favored by many students and families. So, in such a reality, how can children have more opportunities to enter top schools and enjoy top-tier education? Worldway Group experts suggest that "immigrating first, then studying abroad" may be a popular new choice today.
A U.S. Green Card makes a child's life different. Not only can they share 90%-95% of the admission quotas with domestic students, but they can also enjoy the same tuition fees as domestic students, which is only one-third of that for international students. In short, Green Card status plays a pivotal role in every aspect of a child's school selection, internship, and job hunting.
Currently, the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program is highly favored by investors due to its many advantages, such as no requirements for age, language, education, or business background, and the ability for the whole family to immigrate with one application. Investors can choose high-quality projects that have been approved by the immigration bureau, are expected to shorten waiting periods, have completed all employment requirements, and have first-priority repayment guarantees, which will greatly protect the interests of investors and help them successfully immigrate to the United States.
The highly popular Worldway EB-5 projects in the EB-5 market: the Manhattan No. 9 Luxury Boutique Hotel and the Dallas No. 1 are both rare, high-quality projects. Good projects do not wait, and children's education cannot wait. Green Card applications must be made early. Please call for consultation as soon as possible: 400-138-2929.
