Of the 20,905 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 5,323 enrolled, a yield rate of 25.5%.[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	20,905	5,323	25.5%
2027	14,234	4,457	31.3%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at University of Kansas has sat between 87.8%–93.5%.

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.
