Just out of curiosity, does anyone know which university holds the record for the lowest acceptance rate? Pretty sure I'm not aiming for that one, but I thought it'd be interesting to know. Haha!
Stanford University currently has the lowest acceptance rate among all U.S. universities. Its acceptance rate for the class of 2025 was 4.1%. While this rate is remarkably low, it's worth noting that these figures vary from year to year depending on the number of applications received and the size of the incoming class the school plans to admit. Keep in mind, though, that a low acceptance rate does not necessarily indicate the quality of education or the fit for you as an individual. While it's certainly an interesting fact, it might be more beneficial to focus on universities that align with your personal goals and interests.
