IU Bloomington Yield Rate

Of the 52,907 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 9,600 enrolled, a yield rate of 18.1%.[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	52,907	9,600	18.1%
2027	43,624	9,550	21.9%
2026	41,272	9,736	23.6%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at IU Bloomington has sat between 78.2%–82.4%.

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.
