For the Class of 2028, MIT's Regular Decision acceptance rate stands at 4.7%, with 1,291 of 26,914 applicants being admitted. This rate is consistent with 2023 but marks a notable decrease from 3.9% in 2022 and fluctuates from 7.3% in 2020. Historically, acceptance rates have decreased over the years, with 8.2% for the Class of 2015, reflecting MIT's growing selectivity amid an increasing applicant pool, as seen with 33,767 applicants in 2022. These trends indicate heightened competition for admission at MIT.
