The College received a record number of applications this year and offered admission to 877 students.

Haverford College mailed acceptance letters to the 877 students offered admission to the Class of 2022. This class represents the College's most selective year yet. After receiving a record 4682 applications, Haverford admitted 18.7 percent of its applicants.

"This year's applicant pool was the largest, strongest, and most diverse in Haverford's history. All of us in admission felt honored to have the opportunity to get to know each and every candidate for admission, and we are thrilled to be inviting such extraordinary students to join the Haverford community. Now more than ever, we feel inspired by their intellectualism, energy, compassion, and commitment to social engagement, and we look forward to seeing how the members of the Class of 2022 embrace their Haverford experience and make our community even stronger."
