Class of 2028 Admissions

The college admissions landscape remains highly competitive, with many of the nation’s most popular universities reporting record-high application numbers for the Class of 2028. Institutions such as Yale (57,512 applicants), Bowdoin (~13,200), and the University of Texas at Austin (~73,000) have all seen their largest applicant pools to date. Similarly, Barnard College, Duke University, and the University of Virginia reported all-time highs for Early Decision and Early Action applications. Given these surges, admission rates are expected to remain low—or even decrease—and more waitlist decisions are likely, as colleges work to manage their enrollment yields.

When Do Colleges Release Admissions Decisions?
