Syracuse Yield Rate

Of the 17,545 students admitted to the Class of 2027, 3,672 enrolled, a yield rate of 20.9%.[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
2027	17,545	3,672	20.9%
2026	21,471	4,108	19.1%
2025	23,489	3,765	16.0%
2024	21,994	3,499	15.9%
2023	15,664	3,660	23.4%
2022	17,443	3,599	20.6%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2025–2027) the acceptance rate at Syracuse has sat between 41.7%–59.2%.

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

• Build a balanced list: Since the university accepted just 41.7% of its 42,089 applicants for the Class of 2027, Syracuse is not a safety school.
• Target high test scores: The middle half of admitted students scored between 1260 and 1430 on the SAT and between 28 and 32 on the ACT.
• Expect increasing competition: The overall acceptance rate has fallen significantly from 68.7% for the Class of 2024 to 41.7% for the Class of 2027.
