With only three weeks remaining before the class of 2017 graduates from the ���app, members of the class of 2021 are preparing to take their place on campus. The incoming group of first-year students is expected to be the most diverse in ���app’s history.

The University is preparing to welcome more than 1,400 first-year students in September. That number is slightly higher than last year, and this class promises to be more diverse than those of recent years.

• Nearly a quarter of the expected incoming class identifies as an ethnic minority other than white, compared to 19 percent in 2016.
• First-generation students will make up nearly 20 percent of the class.
• International students are expected to make up seven��percent of the class, representing 36 countries, double the number in 2016.
• Outside the U.S., the countries with the highest representation among the class are China, Canada, Mexico, India and Vietnam.

“This is an exceptional class that has chosen to enroll at ���app this fall,” says Tom Willoughby, vice chancellor for enrollment. “The rich diversity of this class, measured by so many dimensions, is a significant highlight and will only elevate the intellectual engagement of our ���app community.”

The incoming class is also expected to include students from several partnership programs:
