For the application year 2023, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts recorded a Regular Decision acceptance rate of 87.5%, with 168 out of 192 applicants accepted. This rate is a decrease from 91.3% in 2022, but an increase from 83.6% in 2021. Historical data shows a trend towards fluctuating acceptance rates, with the highest being 98% in 2015 and 2014, and a notable downward shift from 92.7% in 2017 to 87.5% in the latest year. Overall, while acceptance rates remain high, the notable decline over the last few years indicates a potentially increasing selectivity.
