Haverford College recently released admissions decisions for the Class of 2030. This prestigious liberal arts college is a top choice for many students across the nation, and if you’re reading this blog today, you probably were one such student (or the parent of one such student). Whether you’re sizing up the competition, figuring out next steps after being waitlisted, or just curious to know how competitive the Class of 2030 is relative to recent years, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll walk you through the historical data and relay as much information as we possibly can on this most recent admissions cycle at this Haverford, PA-based school.

Haverford College’s Class of 2030 in Historical Perspective

Here’s the scoop: admissions data on the Class of 2030 has yet to be released. What’s more, we don’t have that much historical data to go off of to predict trends for this most recent cycle. But over the last three years at Haverford, the average acceptance rate has been a highly selective 12.85%, while the average size of the admitted student cohort over the same period was about 875. All things being equal, these are good benchmarks for how the Class of 2030 will shake out, barring any institutional goals to increase enrollment or a deep spike or decline in acceptance corresponding to some really bad or really good press coming out of Haverford.

While you might be disappointed by this dearth of data, rest assured that the statistics you’re looking for must come to light with the publication of the 2026-2027 Common Data Set, a federal data reporting initiative that Haverford participates in. And once this highly anticipated document comes to light, Ivy Coach will be the first to report back!

Demographic Breakdown of Haverford College’s Class of 2030

Much like the acceptance rate, we’ve been left in the dark on the demographics of the Class of 2030 so far. That said, the racial demographics of these recent admits cannot legally be collected or reported until this fall (per the 2023 SCOTUS ruling on Affirmative Action). And we suspect plenty of other data, including the proportion of first-generation college students, the yield rate, the geographic representation of this cohort, and so much more, is on its way down the pipeline, because the Haverford Class of 2029 profile is chock-full of these details for all of our prying eyes to peruse. 

Here’s just a sampling of what we know about the Class of 2029:

• Students hail from 37 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and 21 Countries
• 53.8% identify as a person of color
• 6.3% Black/African American
• 15.5% Latino/a/e
• 32.5% Asian/Asian American
• 45% yield rate
