Joining other institutions, Harvard College today disclosed the demographic characteristics of the class of 2028—the first admitted since the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June 2023 that outlawed consideration of race in admissions reviews. Asian American students made up 37 percent of the class, unchanged from the prior year, and the proportion of Hispanic or Latino students rose to 16 percent from 14 percent of the total. One percent of students identified as Native American, down 1 percentage point, and fewer than 1 percent identified as Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander (no change). Arithmetically, the class of 2028 figure would appear to be 31 percent, up from 28 percent of the class of 2027. We know that diversity measured on multiple axes drives academic excellence and shapes the transformational educational environment of Harvard College for our students.
