What program are you in?
Most of our respondents answered that they were in Computer Science this year. However, there were also 12 respondents in CS/BBA and 3 respondents in CFM.
This data might be skewed by, however, one big elephant in the room. Most of our graduates entered school in the famous "225% problem" year, when the entire Math Faculty admitted more than twice their usual admissions target.
What is your gender identity?
The majority of respondents identified as men. About a quarter of respondents replied that they were women, however, there were also 2 respondents who identified as being non-binary, 1 respondent who was agender, and 1 respondent who was still figuring things out.
What are your pronouns?
The majority of respondents used he/him pronouns, but that does not map one-to-one with gender identities.
We know that gender is a difficult thing, and we wish everyone the best of luck in figuring things out.
What is your sexuality?
Most respondents identified as being straight, however, roughly ~8% of respondents identified as being bisexual, which is in line with national statistics, and roughly 4% of respondents identified as being gay/lesbian, which is higher than the national average at 1%.
In total, roughly 15% of respondents were queer, which is a little higher than the national average at 10%.
What is your birth year?
While most of the class of 2025 were born in 2002, at least 10% of our respondents either graduated ahead or behind of schedule. However, at the end of the day, life is a winding road, and everyone deserves a pat on the back for finishing a very difficult program. At least there will be no more final exams for this cohort!
What race/ethnicity best describes you?
The class of 2025 continues to be as diverse as ever. 81 of our respondents identified the most with being East Asian, 40 identified with being South Asian, 31 with being white, 12 being Southeast Asian, 7 with the Middle East, and 1 respondent identified with being West Asian. 2 of our respondents also identified with being Hispanic/Latino, while 1 respondent identified as being black.
Do you have a disability?
11 of our respondents reported having a disability of some kind, while 4 more were unsure.
Are you neurodivergent?
19 of our respondents identified themselves with being neurodivergent, while 20 of our respondents were unsure.
What is your religion and/or spiritual affiliation?
The class of 2025 is very diverse in terms of religious affiliation. While the largest category is atheist/agnostic, which make up around half of all respondents surveyed, there were also 27 Christians, 24 Hindus, 6 Muslims, 3 Buddhists, 2 Sikhs, 1 Jew, and 1 person who identified with being spiritual.
What is your political alignment?
80 respondents identified as being somewhere on the left, 21 respondents identified as being somewhere on the right, while 43 respondents were comfortable in the middle.
What was your high school admissions average?
One respondent had an impressive 100 high school average, but perhaps even more impressive, another respondent got in with an 88, which just goes that while the bar (pun intended) to get into CS programs is quite high, grades aren't everything, though it certainly helps.

Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of introverts with 88 responses to that effect, but also a surprising number of extroverts as well with 42 respondents. The most common traits are intuition (104), introversion (88), thinking (80), and judging (80).
