About the Acceptance Rate Calculator

Acceptance rate is one of the most-cited selectivity metrics for colleges, scholarships, competitive jobs and other application-based programs.

Formula: Acceptance Rate = (Number Admitted ÷ Number of Applicants) × 100

A lower percentage means a more selective process. Keep in mind acceptance rate alone doesn't reflect yield rate or how many admitted applicants actually enroll or accept an offer.
