Rhode Island School of Design Regular Decision Acceptance Rate

For the application year 2024, the Rhode Island School of Design's Regular Decision acceptance rate is 46.0%, with 1,380 out of 3,000 applicants being accepted. This marks a significant increase from the previous two years, where the acceptance rate was only 17.4% in both 2023 and 2022, with 522 and 512 students accepted respectively. Such a substantial rise suggests a shift in the competitiveness of the applicant pool or admission strategy, as the number of accepted students more than doubled compared to the last two years. Historical data prior to 2022 is unavailable, but this year's rate indicates a notable change in the admissions landscape at RISD.
