Harvard’s acceptance rate of 4.59 percent was higher than the rate at Stanford, which admitted only 4.30 percent of applicants. Harvard’s percentage was lower, however, than those of its peers in the Ivy League.

In 2015, MIT admitted 1,467 students out of 18,306 applicants for the Class of 2019 for an acceptance rate of 8.01 percent.

Penn – The University of Pennsylvania – Of the 44,482 students who applied to Penn’s Class of 2022 in the early and regular rounds, 3,731 were admitted, leading to an overall acceptance rate of 8.39 percent. Last year’s overall acceptance rate was 9.15 percent when Penn admitted a total of 3,699 students from 40,413 applications. Out of the total 3,731 admitted to the Class of 2022, 1,312 students were admitted through the early decision round.  The admission rate for the ED round was 18.55 percent out of 7,074 applicants.

One in every seven admitted students to the Class of 2022 is the first in their families to attend college, according to the Dean of Admissions Eric Furda, this is a dramatic increase from the one in every eight first-generation students admitted last year. The number of international applicants increased by 6 percent.

Princeton University – Princeton University has offered admission to 1,941 students, or 5.49 percent of the 35,370 applicants to the Class of 2022. Princeton University received 5,402 early action applications and accepted 799 applicants. Last year, for the Class of 2021, Princeton admitted 1,890 out of 31,056 applicants for an admission rate of 6.09 percent.  The class size is expected to be around 1,300 students for the Class of 2022, as it was last year.

Of the students offered admission, 50.5 percent are women and 49.5 percent are men; 53.4 percent have self-identified as people of color, including biracial and multiracial students; 64.5 percent of the admitted students come from public schools, and 17 percent will be the first in their families to attend college. An estimated 23 percent of those admitted are eligible for federal Pell grants for low-income students.

Stanford University – Stanford University has offered admission to the Class of 2022 to 2,071 students, or 4.36% of all applicants. The Class of 2022 was selected from 47,450 candidates, the largest applicant pool in Stanford’s history, eclipsing last years’ unprecedented 44,073 applications. This year, Stanford declined to release the number of candidates admitted in December through Stanford’s Restrictive Early Action program. We, however, believe this number to be stable and have utilized a comparable number for our estimates prepared in April 2018.  The estimated early acceptance rate for the Class of 2022 should be just below 9 percent. Based on current information, Stanford remains the most selective research university in the United States for undergraduates. Two years ago, Stanford admitted 2,063 students out of 43,997 applicants for admission to the Class of 2020 for an overall admission rate of 4.69%.

Yale University – Yale’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions accepted 2,229 students or 6.31 percent of the 35,306 students who applied to Yale. This represents a decrease from last year’s rate of 6.91 percent. The SCEA round accounted for 842 acceptances out of a pool of 5,733 applications.  This marks the seventh consecutive year that Yale’s acceptance rate has remained in the 6 percent range, after hovering around 7.5 percent from 2009 to 2011. Last year, Yale accepted 2,272 students to its Class of 2021 from a pool of 32,900. The increase in admissions accounts for the opening of new dorms, which brings the incoming freshman class to approximately 1550 students, or 15% larger than recent classes.

Students admitted to the Class of 2022 represent all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and 64 countries, and will graduate from nearly 1,500 secondary schools around the world. They expressed interest in majoring in more than 80 of Yale’s academic programs. Over the past several years, the proportion of applicants, admitted students, and incoming first-years who identify as a member of a minority group and/or first in their family to attend college has steadily increased, and this year is no exception.
