Wait List Acceptance Rate

Syracuse University's wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 28.0%, with 11,785 students accepting a spot from a total of 42,089 offered places. This reflects a significant decline compared to previous years, where acceptance rates were 42.0% for 2023, 52.0% for 2022, 59.0% for 2021, and a peak of 69.0% for 2020. The downward trend in acceptance rates over the past four years indicates an increasingly competitive wait list process, suggesting that applicants should have alternative plans.
