The latest data on admissions to American universities

1. Do you know what the most successful students in prestigious American schools do in high school?

"The most difficult application season in history", and its final application data, is finally in front of us. Many people are still dumbfounded when freshmen enter the school in 2021: The threshold of the Top 20 American schools, especially the Ivy League schools, is much higher than we thought!

For example: 73.1% of Harvard freshman high school ranks in the top 2% of the class; 95% of Yale freshman high school ranks in the top 10% of the school; Columbia freshmen's SAT admission range is 1510-1560, and the most competitive Ivy League majors are Computer Science and Economics.

The Harvard High School Background Survey for Freshmen in the Class of 2024 is more worthy of reference: 38% of students serve as chairpersons of clubs or student organizations; 36.7% of students have 2 "Leader" titles; and students have led more than 6 clubs in high school...

The competitiveness of admission data reminds us again and again: If you want to enter the Ivy League & Top 20, you must plan for high school earlier!
