Wait List Acceptance Rate

Carnegie Mellon University's wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 is 5.0%, with 80 students offered admission and 4 ultimately accepting. This marks a slight decrease from the 5.6% rate in 2023, where 90 students were offered a place and 5 accepted. Historical data shows a gradual increase in acceptance rates over the past few years, beginning with 3.3% in 2021 and peaking at 5.6% in 2023. However, the fluctuation in numbers indicates a competitive and unpredictable wait list process.
