Wait List Acceptance Rate

For the application year 2024, the Gemological Institute of America offered 621 applicants a place on its wait list, but none were accepted, resulting in a 0.0% acceptance rate. This follows an unprecedented trend, as no acceptance data is available for the previous years from 2020 to 2023, indicating a potential decrease in opportunities for wait listed candidates. The current situation emphasizes the increasing competitiveness and uncertainty associated with the wait list process at the Institute.
