Princeton Acceptance Rates Withheld for Class of 2026

Princeton University chose to withhold its admissions statistics for the Class of 2026. These statistics included Princeton’s early and regular round admissions rate, number of applicants, demographics of accepted students, and statistics about SAT scores and GPAs.

Princeton’s Application Acceptance Rates Withheld

According to an online announcement made on March 30, 2022, and one day before the annual Ivy Day, Princeton University “made the decision not to release admission data during the early action, regular decision and transfer admission cycles.” Instead, they will publish an announcement later in the year that focuses solely on Princeton’s enrolled Class of 2026.

Princeton still plans to report aggregate data about the admission cycle in the Common Data Set and to the state and federal governments.

Princeton reported that this monumental decision to not report acceptance rates was made so the university could focus more on the students and relieve some of the anxiety of applicants.
