=== Later development === In 1926 the "Public Hostel" status was abolished, replaced with that of "Approved Foundation", granting more security to the college. The distinction of the college as "H. Selw." on Senate House lists had also ceased from June 1924.<ref name="Short History"/> On 14 March 1958, Selwyn was granted full collegiate status.<ref name="Short History"/> Selwyn, in common with most other Oxford and Cambridge colleges, originally admitted only men, but was one of the first colleges to become mixed when women were admitted from 1976. In that year, women lived only on E and H Staircases, but in subsequent years could live anywhere in College. In 1999, Selwyn appointed the first female Director of Music in an Oxbridge College, [[Sarah MacDonald (musician)|Sarah MacDonald]], and in 2009, Selwyn became the first Cambridge college to appoint a female head porter, Helen Stephens.<ref>{{cite news|title=Cambridge College first as Helen is appointed|publisher=This is South Wales|date=9 September 2009}}</ref> In the 2020s the college became known for its widening-participation and academic successes, admitting one of the highest proportions of maintained school (UK state schools) undergraduates of the Cambridge colleges (81% in 2023<ref>https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/sites/default/files/publications/ug_admissions_statistics_2023_cycle.pdf</ref>) while being ranked 1st for 'good honours' examination results in 2024.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.sel.cam.ac.uk/news/selwyn-success | title=Selwyn success | Selwyn College }}</ref>
