More people want access to the world’s best education facilities than ever before. The number of applications to the eight Ivy League universities almost doubled in the past decade. In fact, in 1999–2000, Ivy League schools received 121,948 applications – and they rejected 80% of them. More recently, the Ivy League class of 2023 had 311,948 applicants, and just 21,168 were accepted. That’s an acceptance rate of a measly 6.72%. The best schools have the luxury of choosing their students. In fact, these school’s selection lists can run so deep, they rarely ever have underqualified applicants. Everyone who applies has strong academics.
