2029	10,245	2,686	26.2%
2028	10,195	2,473	24.3%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2027–2029) the acceptance rate at University of Miami has sat between 17.6%–18.9%.

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.
