Meet the Class of

2025

Academics and Extracurriculars

Each August, The Crimson surveys incoming freshmen about their backgrounds, academic aspirations, and lifestyles. For the second time, incoming students also answered questions about their experience with the Covid-19 pandemic. Scroll through the interactive graphs and charts on the following pages for a visual representation of the Class of 2025.

Roughly 78 percent of the class responded to the survey. The Crimson did not adjust the data for any possible self-selection bias. Part I of the survey focuses on the makeup of the class, Part II explores academics, Part III examines lifestyle, and Part IV interrogates experiences during the coronavirus pandemic.

The results of last year’s survey of the Class of 2024 can be found here.
