Penn admitted 19.7% of early decision applicants to the Class of 2024 — breaking nearly a decade of declining ED acceptance rates.

The University received 6,453 ED applications this year, a 9% decline from last year’s 7,109 applicants. This year’s dip comes after a steady increase in the ED applicant pool since 2011.

Last year, Penn recorded its lowest ED acceptance rate, admitting just 18% of the applicant pool to the Class of 2023. The ED acceptance rate for the Class of 2022 was 18.5%, a sharp decline from the previous year’s 22% rate.
