| Class | Applied | Admitted | Acceptance rate |
|---|---|---|---|

| 2027 | 68,840 | 62,084 | 90.2% |
| 2026 | 68,789 | 61,739 | 89.8% |
| 2025 | 61,603 | 54,329 | 88.2% |
| 2024 | 53,516 | 47,290 | 88.4% |

Admitted Student Test Scores (Class of 2024)
The middle 50% of enrolled students scored:[1]
- SAT (combined mid-50%): 1100–1320 (EBRW 550–650, Math 550–670)
- ACT composite (mid-50%): 21–28
The combined SAT range is the sum of the two section ranges, not a true composite percentile.
ASU Yield Rate
Of the 63,756 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 14,099 enrolled, a yield rate of 22.1%.[1] Yield is what the university is really managing when it sets an admit rate, so it moves the acceptance rate more than application volume does.
| Class | Admitted | Enrolled | Yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2028 | 63,756 | 14,099 | 22.1% |
| 2027 | 62,084 | 14,102 | 22.7% |
| 2026 | 61,739 | 15,151 | 24.5% |
| 2025 | 54,329 | 14,250 | 26.2% |
| 2024 | 47,290 | 12,677 | 26.8% |
| 2023 | 29,562 | 10,044 | 34.0% |
| 2022 | 22,779 | 8,861 | 38.9% |
What to Expect for the Class of 2030
Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at ASU has sat between 89.8%–90.2%.
That band is what the school has actually done recently, not a prediction. A single cycle can break it: a change to testing policy, a new direct-admission program, or a jump in application volume moves the rate more than any trend would.
What This Means for Your Application
- Target test ranges: Aim for an SAT score between 1100 and 1320 or an ACT between 21 and 28 to remain competitive.
- Apply with confidence: With an 89.9% acceptance rate for the Class of 2028, your admission chances are exceptionally strong if your academics align.
- Prepare for large crowds: Anticipate a massive campus environment since the university admitted 63,756 students from a pool of 70,928 applications for the Class of 2028.
- Keep your options open: Since only 22.1% of admitted applicants enrolled for the Class of 2028, you can safely treat this university as a reliable alternative choice.
