But up by 0.23% :laughing:.

0.23% of 56,000 applicants is 128. This means that 128 more people have been accepted then last year.

No it doesn’t. The number of applicants isn’t the same each year. When there are less applicants, acceptance rate tends to go up, so number of admits has a lesser change. Specific numbers are below. There were 24 more accepted than last year, not 128.

2026 – 56,378 applied, 2075 admitted (admit rate = 3.7%)
2027 – 53,733 applied, 2099 admitted (admit rate = 3.9%)

Thank you for correcting me :slightly_smiling_face:
