哈佛大學申請人數激增後，錄取率歷史新低!
Harvard University's undergraduate school has admitted 1,968 students out of a record-breaking 57,435 applicants to the class of 2025, the university announced Tuesday.
哈佛大學本週二宣布，該校2025屆 (2021年秋季入學) 大學部申請人數達到創紀錄的57435人，其中錄取1968人。
That adds up to only a 3.43 percent acceptance rate to Harvard College, breaking the record-low rate of 4.5 percent in 2019. There were nearly 30 percent more applicants this year over 2020, and the school had to delay decisions by a week because of the surge.
這樣一來哈佛大學的錄取率只有3.43%，打破了2019年4.5%的歷史最低錄取率。今年的申請人數比2020年增加了近30%，由於人數激增，學校不得不推遲一周做出錄取決定。
“These applicants have faced and overcome unprecedented challenges over the past year,” dean of admissions and financial aid William R. Fitzsimmons wrote in a statement. “Their applications and personal stories revealed a window into their resilience, their intellectual curiosity, and their many positive contributions to family, school, and community. They are truly inspiring.”
“這些申請者在過去的一年裡面臨並克服了前所未有的挑戰，”招生和財政援助部主任威廉R.菲茨西蒙斯（William R.Fitzsimmons）在一份聲明中寫道。“他們的申請和個人經歷展示了他們的適應力、求知欲以及對家庭、學校和社區的許多積極貢獻。他們真的很振奮人心。”
The shift in higher education to make standardized testing optional during the coronavirus pandemic has seemingly helped break application records for large selective schools around the country, including several in the Boston area.
在新冠疫情期間，高等教育機構採取標化考試可選提交政策這一轉變，似乎有助於打破全國各地頂尖院校的申請記錄，包括波士頓地區的一些學校。
MIT reported 33,240 applications (up 66 percent over the previous year), Tufts had 31,190 applicants (a 35 percent increase), Boston University had 75,559 applicants (up 24 percent), and Northeastern reported 75,233 applications (up 17 percent). Each of the schools, including Harvard, made standardized tests optional for the year.
麻省理工學院的申請人數為33240人（比去年增長66%），塔夫茨大學的申請人數為31190人（增長35%），波士頓大學的申請人數為75559人（增長24%），東北大學的申請人數為75233人（增長17%）。包括哈佛在內的以上每一所學校都採取標化考試可選提交政策。
The class of 2025 at Harvard is slightly more diverse than previous years, with several more Black and Asian American students and slight increases in Latino, first-generation, and lower-income students.
哈佛2025屆學生比往年稍有不同，黑人和亞裔學生多了一些，拉丁美洲、第一代大學生和低收入家庭大學生略有增加。
Over 60 percent of offers went to students of color, up from 54.4 percent last year. Fitzsimmons described the class as “the most diverse class in the history of Harvard… economically and ethnically” to The Harvard Crimson.
超過60%的錄取對像是有色人種學生，高於去年的54.4%。菲茨西蒙斯把這屆學生描述為“哈佛歷史上最多元化的班級……經濟上和種族上”。
Among admitted students, 18 percent are Black (up from 14.8 percent last year), 27.2 percent are Asian American (up from 24.5 percent), and 13.3 percent are Latino (up from 12. 7 percent).
在被錄取的學生中， 18%是黑人（去年為14.8%），27.2%是亞裔美國人（去年為24.5%），13.3%是拉丁裔（去年為12%）。
First-generation students make up 20.7 percent of the admitted class (up from 19.4 percent), and 20.4 percent qualify for federal Pell grants (up from 19 percent). Fitzsimmons told the Crimson that this year is the first time that Harvard broke 20 percent for both first-generation students and Pell Grant recipients.
第一代大學生佔被錄取學生的20.7%（高於去年19.4%），20.4%符合聯邦佩爾助學金的資格（高於去年19%）。菲茨西蒙斯對Crimson說，今年是哈佛第一代大學生和佩爾獎學金獲得者首次突破20%。
