Frequently asked questions
What is a good acceptance rate?
It depends on the industry. Universities below 20% are generally considered highly selective, while many programs accept 40-70% of applicants.
Can acceptance rate exceed 100%?
No. Acceptance rates range from 0% to 100% because you cannot accept more applicants than applied.
Why is acceptance rate important?
It helps measure competitiveness and selectivity, letting you benchmark a program, role, or funding round against others.
Is acceptance rate the same as yield rate?
No. Yield rate measures the share of accepted applicants who actually enroll or participate, which is a different stage of the funnel.
