Historical Acceptance Rates

The California Institute of Technology's overall acceptance rate for the Class of 2028 stands at a low 3.14%, with 13,107 applicants and only 412 accepted. This marks a slight increase from the previous year’s rate of 2.7%, during which 16,626 applicants vied for admission and 448 were accepted. However, looking back further, the acceptance rates show a declining trend, dropping from 6.7% in 2020 and 6.4% in 2019 to the current figures. This continuous decrease underscores an intensifying competition among applicants over the years.
