What's the acceptance rate like at Kenyon College?

I've been searching for a while but I can't seem to find any clear info on how tough it is to get into Kenyon College. Does anyone know about the school's acceptance rate for recent years? Is it really competitive or more on the accessible side? Any insights would be awesome, thanks!

Kenyon College is quite selective with a competitive admissions process. For prospective students looking at the most recent admissions data, the acceptance rate at Kenyon College has been around 34%.

This level of selectivity indicates that they are looking for students who meet high academic standards and can contribute positively to their community. If Kenyon College is a school you're seriously interested in, you'll want to make sure your GPA, standardized test scores (if you're submitting them), and your application, including your essays and extracurriculars, are strong.

Admissions rates can vary somewhat from year to year, based on the applicant pool and the school's enrollment needs, but the general trend at Kenyon has been toward selectivity. So, definitely craft your application carefully, to be sure your strengths come across in each component.
