2027 Ivy League & College Admission Statistics (2024)

Overall College Admit Rates
Class of 2023 – Class of 2027

2027 Ivy League & College Admission Statistics (1)

With record-breaking application volume and ever lower admit rates, the Class of 2027 admissions statistics are extremely similar to those for the Class of 2026. The continuing trends of high application numbers, low acceptance rates, test optional policies and commitment to a diverse class appear to be here to stay. At least for one more admissions cycle.

But not everyone is smashing records. As reported in our March Madness: Class of 2027 College Admissions Edition post, Amherst, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, UCLA and UC Berkeley, among others, saw a drop in application volume.

Once again, UPenn, Stanford, Princeton and Cornell withheld admissions statistics for their newly formed Classes of 2027. We expect that this trend will continue and contribute to the problematic lack of transparency in college admissions.

At Top Tier Admissions, we believe that knowledge is power. With transparency and by collecting and sharing these admissions statistics each year, we hope to help students create an informed and wise application strategy.

Penn announced that about 8,000 students applied through the early decision round but did not disclose the admissions’ rate.

Last year, 54,588 students applied to Penn’s Class of 2026. In the previous year. 3,304 were admitted to the Class of 2025, leading to an overall acceptance rate of 5.87 percent.

Yale University

Yale’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions accepted 2,275 students or 4.35 percent of the 52,250 students who applied to the Class of 2027. This represents a decrease from last year’s rate of 4.57 percent. The SCEA round accounted for 776 acceptances out of a pool of 7,744 applications.

In its early round, MIT admitted 687 students out of 11,924 applications, yielding 5.76 percent, which is the lowest rate of acceptance in an early round among its peer group composed of the Ivy League and Stanford. There was a substantial decrease in applications likely due to MIT requiring standardized test scores in the application process.

Last year, for the Class of 2026, the school admitted 1,337 students out of a record 33,976 applicants for an acceptance rate of 3.94 percent. In its early round, MIT admitted 697 students out of 14,781 applications. For the Class of 2025, MIT admitted 1,365 students out of 33,240 applicants for an acceptance rate of 4.11 percent.
