How to read this table: Admit rate is the number admitted divided by the number of applicants. Yield is the number enrolled divided by the number admitted. SAT and ACT ranges represent the middle 50% of enrolled first-year students who submitted the applicable test. Test scores should not be interpreted as admissions requirements for every applicant.

Data note: Figures are from the 2024–25 Common Data Set reporting cycle, representing first-time, first-year students entering in Fall 2024. Admissions reporting practices vary by institution, particularly around testing and GPA disclosure. For that reason, this page uses comparable applicants, admits, enrolled students, yield, and SAT/ACT ranges rather than attempting to create a standardized Ivy League GPA range.

Trend note: Acceptance rates have remained exceptionally low across the Ivy League, with year-to-year movement reflecting changes in both application volume and the size of each entering class. A lower acceptance rate does not necessarily mean that an individual applicant's chances have changed by the same amount.
