Of the 50,252 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 9,240 enrolled, a yield rate of 18.4%.[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 | 50,252 | 9,240 | 18.4% |
| 2027 | 48,369 | 9,158 | 18.9% |
| 2026 | 45,195 | 9,069 | 20.1% |
| 2025 | 41,996 | 8,622 | 20.5% |
| 2024 | 37,064 | 7,334 | 19.8% |
| 2023 | 34,558 | 7,683 | 22.2% |
| 2022 | 33,717 | 7,750 | 23.0% |
What to Expect for the Class of 2030
Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at University of Arizona has sat between 85.7%–86.7%.
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.
