How selective is Haverford?

Haverford is highly selective. For the Class of 2027, the acceptance rate was around 14-16%. Admission is holistic, considering rigorous high school coursework, strong grades, compelling essays, meaningful extracurricular involvement, impactful recommendations, and demonstrated character aligned with the Honor Code.

Does Haverford offer Early Decision? What's the difference?

Acceptance rates for ED rounds are typically higher than Regular Decision (RD - Jan 4 deadline) because it demonstrates a clear first-choice commitment.

Is Haverford test-optional?
