39,000 people are about to find out if they got into Harvard

Hundreds of thousands of high school students throughout the world will learn Thursday at 5 p.m. if they were accepted or rejected into the Ivy League.

This year, every school (that has released data so far) reported receiving historic numbers of applications - meaning this is the largest applicant pool for the Ivy League to date.

Harvard University, with 39,040 applicants, received the most applications of all the Ivies, beating last year's 37,305.
