>Nearly twenty thousand students applied for the sixteen hundred and >fifty places in the freshman class. The great majority of the >applicants could certainly have been successful here academically, >and most candidates presented strong personal and extracurricular >credentials as well. The Committee was, therefore, faced with the >necessity of choosing a class from a great many more talented and >highly qualified students than it had room to admit.

>We wish it were possible for us to admit more of our fine >applicants, and we understand how difficult the college application >process can be for students and their families. While the Committee >conducted its deliberations with the utmost care, we know that no >one can predict with certainty what an individual will accomplish >during college or beyond. Past experience suggests that the >particular college a student attends is far less important than what >the student does to develop his or her strengths and talents over >the next four years.

>We very much appreciate the interest you have shown in Harvard >College. We hope that you will accept the best wishes of the >Committee for success in all your future endeavors.
