The three students are among about 5,100 incoming freshmen starting classes Monday, Aug. 29 at UConn, including a record number of about 3,800 at the Storrs campus.
It’s one of the largest freshman classes overall in UConn’s history and, with 37 percent of students coming from minority backgrounds, it’s also the most diverse.
The Class of 2010 has the largest number of valedictorians and salutatorians.
It also has the largest number of valedictorians and salutatorians – 181 – of any prior UConn freshman class, with nine of every 10 coming from Connecticut.
The Class of 2020 continues its predecessors’ track record of academic excellence with an average SAT score of 1233; and about 71 percent of the freshmen are Connecticut natives who chose to enroll in their state’s flagship university. They’re joined by talented students from elsewhere who were drawn here by UConn’s increasingly strong reputation nationwide and internationally.
In fact, UConn drew new students this year from 164 of Connecticut’s 169 municipalities, with students coming from 44 states, Puerto Rico, and 22 countries worldwide.
