Monrovia Student Accepted Into Tufts University

MONROVIA, CA – A Monrovia student is among the 1,500 undergrad students from around the world who were admitted to Tufts University 2022 class.

Jonathan Yu, from Monrovia, is among Tufts' Class of 2022. Only 14.6 percent of students were accepted out of the record-breaking 21,501 total applications. It's the second-lowest acceptance rate in university history, the press release said.

"The university's Class of 2022 is the most diverse class ever, the beneficiary of the largest commitment of financial aid in university history, and a trailblazer in gender parity among engineering students - all while maintaining Tufts' status as one of the most selective universities in the country," the university said.

Tufts University is recognized among the premier research universities in the United States, the press release said. The university enjoys a global reputation for academic excellence and for the preparation of students as leaders in a wide range of careers.

"We often talk about creating an intentional community," said Karen Richardson, dean of admissions and enrollment management at the Class of 2022's matriculation ceremony. "With the Class of 2022, we have put together a group of learners who will contribute not only academically but also to our community's social fabric."
