Hey everyone, I'm looking to apply to UPenn and I want to apply to the College of Arts and Sciences. Anyone happen to know the acceptance rate for that specific college within UPenn?
Hello! The University of Pennsylvania doesn't publish acceptance rates broken down by individual schools within the university. However, UPenn's overall acceptance rate for the Class of 2026 was around 5.68%. To get an idea of the acceptance rate for the College of Arts and Sciences, you can look at the percentage of students admitted to that college, which is typically the largest within UPenn and enrolls approximately 50% of the undergraduate population.
While the overall acceptance rate might be a helpful information, it's important to focus on the other aspects of your application as well. Make sure you have strong academic qualifications, extracurriculars, and essays tailored to your intended major or interests. This would increase your chances of getting into not only the College of Arts and Sciences but also UPenn as a whole.
Best of luck with your application!
