It’s June, and that means we know many of the final admissions decisions for the class of 2029.
Some schools have continued to receive record numbers of applications this year. The steep downward trend in admit rates seems to be leveling off, though, with some highly selective colleges and universities reporting higher admit rates this year than last year.
See the table below for comprehensive admissions data for the class of 2029, which includes all admissions rounds. More detail on Early Decision and Early Action is available here.
Some highly selective schools, including Princeton, Stanford, Cornell and University of Pennsylvania, have decided not to release their admissions data again this year. Harvard has also joined this list.
