1,675 offered spots in class of 2005   Princeton NJ -- A total of 1,675 or 11.7 percent of the 14,287 applicants for the class of 2005 have been offered admission to Princeton. According to Dean of Admission Fred Hargadon, the enrollment target for the class is 1,165. Just under 51 percent of the offers of admission went to men and just over 49 percent went to women. Of the U.S. or permanent resident admits, 37 percent indicated a minority background. International students comprised 10 percent of those admitted. Those offered admission include students in all 50 states and in 51 other countries. About 34 percent of the students were admitted in the early decision process in December. More than half of the applicants had SAT scores of 1400 or higher and had grade point averages of 3.8 or higher (including 4,400 with 4.0 GPAs). "Our decisions were difficult," Hargadon said. "They'd have been difficult even had we been able to admit half again as many."   top		April 16, 2001 Vol. 90, No. 24 previous   archives   next Contents • Researchers part of team seeking Earth-like planets near other stars • 1,675 offered spots in class of 2005 • Photographs illuminate ruins of ancient Athens • Grant funds creation of first electronic archive on the arts People • Civility efforts strive to unite campus • Staff rewarded for recruiting effors • Briefs • Spotlight Sections • By the numbers: the Board of Trustees • Nassau Notes • Calendar of events The Bulletin is published weekly during the academic year, except during University breaks and exam weeks, by the Office of Communications, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544.
