Remember the moment you got into Harvard? Of course you do. And, as jaded as you may be—or pretend to be—, it's always fun to relive the magic with the College's newest crop of admitted students. Flyby caught up with a couple of them to talk about exorbitant Facebook friending, awkward questions, and weeping puppies.

Every Friday, The Crimson publishes a selection of articles that were printed in our pages in years past. March 27, 1874: Humorous Articles In reading over with care our college papers we find, as a general rule, that the various themes which meet our eyes apply directly or indirectly to college rules, college customs. This certainly ought to be expected, from the nature of these papers. I do not wish even to argue that this is not perfectly right; but I should like to call attention to the fact that a certain class of articles are not as a general rule popular, although their character might at first lead one to expect otherwise. I refer to humorous productions.

Connor P. McKnight was 30,000 feet above the ground with his cell phone off when an email arrived in his inbox offering him a spot in Harvard College’s Class of 2016.

An all-time low 5.9 percent of applicants received offers to join Harvard College’s Class of 2016 on Thursday. This marks the seventh consecutive year that Harvard’s admission rate has fallen.

The program enjoys a high success rate as it aims to convince students of color that they would indeed look right in crimson.

It is no secret that despite more and more rigorous admissions policies, there are certain high schools that send a disproportionate number of students to Harvard.

Harvard may admit as few as 3 percent of the students waiting to hear their decisions this Thursday and overall, the College might admit about 5.5 percent of students who applied under early action and regular decision to the Class of 2016.
