Black Enrollment Falls for Third Straight Year, Asian Enrollment Rises in Harvard’s Class of 2030
Asian American enrollment rose to 43.2% as Harvard said 55,104 students applied, the largest pool in years.
- On Tuesday, Harvard reported that Asian American enrollment in the Class of 2030 rose to 43.2 percent, while Black student enrollment fell to 9.3 percent for the third consecutive year following the Supreme Court's ruling on race-conscious admissions.
- These demographic shifts follow the Supreme Court's 2023 decision ending race-based affirmative action, alongside a methodological change beginning with the Class of 2028 where the College now calculates percentages using only students who reported their race.
- Applications for the Class of 2030 reached a record 55,104, a 15 percent increase, as the College leveraged its new partnership with QuestBridge to match low-income students with full scholarships.
- Record international applications occurred earlier this month, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid William R. Fitzsimmons noted, as the College eliminated tuition payments for families with annual incomes below $200,000.
- Sustained uncertainty persists regarding international students at the University as the Trump administration continues to pursue restrictions on foreign student enrollment, including proposed caps on visas.
