STANFORD — Stanford University announced Friday it has offered undergraduate admission to 2,063 high school students.
The number includes 745 who were accepted in December through the early action program.
The class of 2020 was culled from a pool of 43,997 candidates, the largest applicant pool in university history, according to Richard H. Shaw, dean of admission and financial aid. The 4.68 percent admit rate, meanwhile, is the smallest in university history.
The admitted students come from 50 states and 76 countries, according to the university.
“Our admitted students reflect the deep and profound diversity of the world in which we live,” Shaw said in a statement. “We believe these students will impact that world in immeasurable ways.”
Students admitted under the early and regular decision admission program have until May 1 to accept Stanford’s offer.
