The Cooper Union's overall acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 13% with 1,500 applicants, of which 195 were accepted. This marks a significant drop from the previous year, 2023, where the acceptance rate was 63.9%, with 958 students admitted out of 1,500 applicants. Historical data shows that 2022 also had a much higher rate of 22%, while there's no data available for the years 2021, 2020, and earlier years.
