I don't have those stats for Santa Fe, I don't think. But do a search of threads on Santa Fe to see if any comments in that regard have come up. Also, email/call schools directly to find out such information. The acceptance rate at the college itself is quite high: 73%.

Also, while acceptance rate INTO the BFA program is a helpful piece of information, you have to realize that it is also helpful to weigh in the level of the artistic pool of applicants. That pool at College of Santa Fe will have talented students in it, no question. But it is not the same exact pool at say, CCM. There is overlap, of course, as students hopefully build balanced college lists. But some students who apply to programs like CCM, for example, are not always also applying to programs like CSF. As well, if an applicant is admitted to both CSF and CMU, for example, many (not necessarily all) will likely opt to enroll at CMU, thus freeing up spots at CSF for those who are not admitted to schools like CMU, Tisch, UMich, CCM (just examples). So, look beyond admit rate into the program and think roughly of the artistic selectivity of the applicant pool at each school as well. Two schools could have an admit rate of 9% but one of the schools might still be much harder to get into artistically, than the other, for instance.

Artsymom's daughter attends this program and you could try to PM or email her as I don't know if she is still reading CC.
