I'm interested in Kenyon University. Does someone have the current acceptance rate? I want to assess my chances before I apply.
The acceptance rate at Kenyon College, as of the 2024-2025 application cycle, is approximately 30%. However, acceptance rates can fluctuate from year to year, and it's crucial to remember that acceptance rates do not provide a complete picture of a college's selection process.
Many factors contribute to a successful application, including academic achievement, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. These components are all far more important for determining your personal chances of getting into Kenyon than the school's overall rate.
