Wait List Acceptance Rate

The Catholic University of America's wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 16.7%, with 300 students offered a wait list position and 50 ultimately accepted. This marks a significant increase from 8.3% in 2022, when 300 students were also offered places but only 25 were accepted. Additionally, the trend over recent years reveals substantial fluctuation, as the acceptance rate dropped to 2.0% for 2021, with only 10 students admitted from 500 offers, and 3.8% in 2020 with 15 out of 400 admitted. Overall, the increasing acceptance rate for 2024 indicates a more favorable outcome for wait-listed candidates compared to previous years.
