Wait List Acceptance Rate

American University's wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 2.6%, with 7312 applicants offered a spot and 188 ultimately accepted. This year reflects one of the few years with documented statistics, as data from previous years, including 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, are not available. The relatively low acceptance rate indicates a highly competitive wait list process, underscoring the challenges waitlisted applicants face in securing admission.
