Stanford University: Acceptance Rates & Statistics

Stanford University Admissions

Stanford did not release admissions statistics for the Class of 2030. For the Class of 2029, Stanford admitted 2,302 students from 60,646 applicants for an acceptance rate of 3.80%, as reported in its Common Data Set. The year prior, Stanford admitted 2,067 students from 57,326 applicants for the Class of 2028 at 3.61% — confirming Stanford’s standing as the most selective institution among its peer group of Ivy League universities and MIT. As Class of 2030 data becomes available, we will update accordingly.

Although test-optional for the Class of 2028, many applicants still submitted scores. The middle 50 percent SAT range was 1510–1570, and the ACT range was 34–35. Fourteen percent (237 students) of the incoming class are international citizens representing 70 countries—an average of about three students per country. Twenty-one percent are the first in their families to attend college, and women slightly outnumber men, 51 percent to 49 percent.
