Only 35% of Harvard freshman have ever had sex. Nationwide, 47% of students have sex before they graduate high school.

Some other interesting findings from the Harvard Crimson’s Incoming Freshman Survey:

-22% of incoming Harvard freshman have tried marijuana. Less than 1% have tried cocaine.

-14% come from families making more than $500,000 (“the 1%”). Only 15% come from families making less than $40,000 (over 40% of the U.S. population). Students in the highest income bracket had the highest average SAT scores.

73% of Harvard-ies get laid before they leave school. And that, plus a $60,000 salary, is pretty darn good.
