Audrey Carver of Idyllwild has joined more than 1,500 undergraduate students from around the world as they begin their academic careers at Tufts University, located in Medford/Somerville, Massachusetts.
In all, only 14.6 percent of a record-breaking 21,501 applicants were admitted to the university, the second-lowest acceptance rate in university history.
“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.”
Carver is the daughter of Chris and Larrynn Carver of Idyllwild.
