Princeton University’s class of 2019 is shaping up to include some 1,310 students. The University announced this week that it has offered admission to 1,908, or 6.99 percent of the 27,290 applicants. That compares to last year’s admission rate of 7.28, making this year’s process the most selective to date.

Letters have been mailed to students in the regular-decision applicant pool, and applicants are now able to see their decisions through the secure online access. Of the 1,908 selected, 767 applied through single-choice early action and were offered admission in December, according to the University.

Approximately 60 percent of all undergraduates receive financial aid, and the average grant is more than $40,000 a year. Typically, students from families with incomes below $60,000 pay no tuition, room or board. Those from families with incomes below $140,000 pay no tuition. Because no student is required to take out loans, the aid program makes it possible for students to graduate without debts.

Students offered admission to the class of 2019 come from 49 states with the largest representation from New Jersey, California, New York, Massachusetts and Texas; and 66 countries. Forty-eight percent are women and 52 percent are men; 49 percent have self-identified as people of color, including biracial and multiracial students.

Admitted candidates have until May 1 to accept Princeton’s offer of admission.
