At 5 p.m., top high school students from around the world found out whether they will attend one of the eight prestigious Ivy League universities next year.
Here's what we know about who got in:
Columbia University accepted 2,228 from a pool of 36,250 applications, according to a university press release, for a 6.1% acceptance rate — a record low for the school. Last year, Columbia admitted 6.94% of applicants.
Princeton University accepted 1,908 students from 27,290 applications for the Class of 2019, for a 6.99% admissions rate. Last year, Princeton admitted 7.28% of applicants.
Brown University accepted 2,580 of 30,397 applicants, or an 8.49% acceptance rate. Last year, the university had a 8.6% acceptance rate.
Dartmouth College accepted 2,120 students from 20,504 applications, for an admissions rate of 10.3%, according to a college spokesperson. Dartmouth received 19,235 applications last year.
Like last year, the most interesting statistics released for the Class of 2019 will probably be Dartmouth's, which finally posted a rise in applications after consistently lower numbers over the past two years.
The New Hampshire Ivy saw a lower acceptance rate this year, after taking 11.5% of applicants to the Class of 2018. Dartmouth received 19,235 applications last year, down 14% from 2013.
Not every school's admissions percentage dropped this year, though.
The University of Pennsylvania accepted 3,697 from 37,267 applicants — the largest in the University's history — according to a university press release. The admissions rate for the Class of 2019 stayed the same as last year, at 9.9%.
Yale University's admissions rate rose, from 6.26% for the Class of 2018 to this year's 6.49%. Yale admitted 1,963 of 30,237 applicants, according to a university press release.
Cornell University's admissions rate also rose, as the school accepted 6,234 students from 41,907 applications for the Class of 2019. Cornell, which has the highest admissions rate in the Ivy League, accepted 14.9% of applicants, up from 14% last year.
