Radcliffe College. Admissions Office.

Hide Profile

Admission to Radcliffe College was originally determined by the Harvard Examinations for Women that were graded by a committee of Harvard professors. These exams were replaced in 1916 by those of the College Entrance Examination Board. The Committee on Admissions (renamed the Admissions Office in 1944) continued until 1975, when the Harvard/Radcliffe Office of Admissions and Financial Aids was established. An equal access policy was instituted and the limit on the number of women admitted to Harvard/Radcliffe was removed.
