Most of the eight Ivy League schools have released their admissions statistics for the college Class of 2026. As always, significantly more students applied than were accepted. And this year, it was harder than ever to get in.
To give you an idea of this year’s admissions statistics, we have created a chart outlining this year’s results at a number of U.S. colleges (– indicates the college has not released this data).
