It is a four-year low for Harvard, which had 7,921 high school seniors applying for undergraduate admission, according to Harvard data, compared to 9,553 last year, the New York Post reported Sunday.

“That’s possibly one of several reasons, about the concern of safety on the campus,” retired Mamaroneck High School college counselor Bob Sweeney told Bloomberg.

Harvard’s Ivy League competitors are doing better, according to the Post.

Yale University had its second-highest early application total in its history, while the University of Pennsylvania has had 500 more applications this year than last, the Post reported.
