Harvard College sees drop in early applicants compared to last year: 'Harvard's reputation has been damaged'
Fox News
Harvard reported its early application total and the results show a significant drop from last year. Its rival Yale University saw an increase in early application submissions.
Bob Sweeney, a retired college counselor at Mamaroneck High School in New York who worked as a counselor for almost 30 years, told Bloomberg that the soaring antisemitism could be one of the factors in the drop in early application submissions. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
"That’s possibly one of several reasons, about the concern of safety on the campus," Sweeney said. "There might be other factors as well as students are being more realistic about their expectations and chances for acceptance."
