Penn received 44,960 applications for the Class of 2023, which was more than a one percent increase from last year’s applicant pool.

This is the largest applicant pool Penn has seen to date. In 2018, 44,482 people applied to the University. This year, 37,850 people applied regular decision and 7,110 were early decision applicants — an increase of 478 total applicants from the Class of 2022.
