Harvard University's Regular Decision acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 2.7%, with 12,250 slots filled out of 46,367 applicants. This figure aligns closely with the previous year (2023), which had a rate of 2.79% and 1,015 acceptances from 36,372 applicants. Historically, acceptance rates have shown a downward trend, decreasing from 3.4% in 2020 to 3.38% in 2021, and significantly lower from 7.23% in 2015. This continued decline indicates increasing competition and selectivity among applicants at Harvard.
