Breaking Down Harvard Admissions Stats

[Jufarius87]

From the HDS website, class of 2008.

Class entering fall 2008:

Applied 677

Admitted 253

Incoming 160

MDiv 50

MTS 100

ThD 6

ThM 4

Students of color 24%

International 8%

Female 58%

Male 42%

Age range 21-58

Average age 27

Student religious affiliations more than 30

The number would indicate prima facie that admissions stats would be at about 253/677 ~ 37.3%

However, given that Th.D admissions is included in this number, I imagine that the Masters Admit Rate is a quite different number.

In short, most of you seem to be doctoral hopefuls, and have analyzed the admissions game thoroughly. So in your expert opinions, for the sake of helping masters hopefuls, how many of those 677 applicants would you estimate are for the ultra-coveted 6 doctoral seats, and how many do you think are for the M.Div and MTS respectively? I ask because I would like to estimate admissions for the M.Div and MTS hopefuls separately.

I don't think there is really any other way to break this down any further, and this year there were more applicants than last year. So, who knows what the stats will be?

You're already accepted to Duke - take a deep breath and relax until March 15!

I CANT!!!!

If I stop concerning myself with admissions info, that means I'll actually have to start working on my thesis again, lulz.

You'probably right though, life is good.

Im freaking out over my M.Div app....

They're still updating things though. My last letter of rec went complete a couple days ago, which finalizes my app.
