Historical Acceptance Rates
The United States Air Force Academy's overall acceptance rate for the application year 2024 is 11.9%, with 12,699 applicants and 1,510 accepting offers. This represents a slight increase from 11.1% in the previous year (2023), when 11,870 applied and 1,320 were admitted. Historically, acceptance rates have shown variability, peaking at 15.0% in 2015 and fluctuating down to a low of 11.1% in recent years. Notably, Early Action (EA) and Regular Decision (RD) acceptance rates have remained consistent at 11.9% in 2024, similar to the 11.1% in 2023, indicating a trend of stable competitiveness in both admission rounds.
Wait List Acceptance Rate
The United States Air Force Academy's wait list metrics for recent application years show a lack of data, as the number of students offered a wait list position, the number accepted, and the acceptance rates are all recorded as 'None.' Consequently, there are no discernible trends or figures to assess the wait list situation. Historically, from 2020 to 2024, similar data has not been available, indicating a potential gap in reporting or transparency regarding the wait list process. Without concrete statistics, it's challenging to analyze the competitiveness or changes in acceptance over the last few years.
Transfer Acceptance Rate
The United States Air Force Academy does not currently have available data on its transfer acceptance rates for recent years, including the application years 2020 to 2023, as all relevant statistics are listed as "None." Consequently, there is no information on the number of applicants or accepted students, nor is there any available historical trend regarding transfer admissions. Without this data, it is not possible to assess the competitiveness of the transfer process or the average GPA of admitted transfer students.
