2028	2,438	642	28
2027	2,253	979	550

Admitted Student Test Scores (Class of 2028)

The middle 50% of enrolled students scored:[1]

• SAT (combined mid-50%): 1210–1440 (EBRW 610–710, Math 600–730)
• ACT composite (mid-50%): 28–33

The combined SAT range is the sum of the two section ranges, not a true composite percentile.

UConn Yield Rate

Of the 29,065 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 4,478 enrolled, a yield rate of 15.4%.[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	29,065	4,478	15.4%
2027	25,164	4,189	16.6%
2026	22,293	4,069	18.3%
2025	20,433	3,663	17.9%
2024	19,316	3,825	19.8%
2023	17,346	3,603	20.8%
2022	17,015	3,749	22.0%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at UConn has sat between 52.4%–54.5%.

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 your test scores: Aim for an SAT score between 1210 and 1440 or an ACT composite between 28 and 33 to match typical admitted students.
• Prepare for intense competition: You will compete against a massive pool of 55,479 applicants based on the latest figures from the Class of 2028.
• Avoid the waitlist: Relying on the waitlist is risky because the school only admitted 28 students from that group for the Class of 2028.
