## How College Acceptance Rate Works

The acceptance rate is simply the proportion of applicants who receive an offer of admission.

### Formula

**Acceptance Rate = Admitted / Total Applicants**

**Probability of At Least One Acceptance = 1 - (1 - Rate)^Schools Applied**

Applying to multiple schools increases your overall chances. If each school has a 20% acceptance rate and you apply to 8, your chance of getting into at least one is about 83%.

Exemple Résolu

A college receives 40,000 applications and admits 8,000. The student applies to 8 similar schools.

  1. Acceptance rate: 8,000 / 40,000 = 20.0%
  2. Rejection rate: 80.0%
  3. P(at least one): 1 - 0.80^8 = 1 - 0.1678 = 83.2%
  4. Expected acceptances: 8 x 0.20 = 1.6
