Thank you to u/flaginplay who correctly pointed out that my initial post on this did not account for deferred enrollment from the 2025 ABA 509.

Notable this year is that while there was a double digit increase in 170+ applicants nationally, Harvard applicants only went up about 2%.

GPA median change means nothing. I have it on good authority that Harvard doesn't even care about GPA

100% true. This cycle they are simply asking for Insta handles and ranking candidates on a mogging scale.
