So far, the 2023-24 college application cycle continues to follow the trend of record low acceptance rates for most highly selective colleges, though not all.
Dozens of the most selective colleges in the US recorded their lowest-ever ED or EA acceptance rates, including Dartmouth (17%), Duke (12.9%), Emory (28%), and Yale (9%).
Thankfully, a few colleges have reversed the downward trend slightly. This year, Harvard accepted 8.7% of Restricted Early Action applicants (up from 7.6%) and Brown accepted 14.4% of Early Decision applicants (up from 13%).

The causes of these trends have not changed much either: continuing extension of test-optional policies; growing uncertainty and anxiety among applicants; and increasing demand at all the most selective colleges across the country.
In order to be successful in any college application, it is vital for applicants to find ways to stand out from the crowd. Our College Advisors, Tutors and Essay Coaches worked tirelessly to help our students’ applications shine through clear and compelling personal narratives, extensive preparation for interviews, and thoughtful development of their college lists.
We’re so proud of all our students’ hard work and excited to celebrate their Early application successes!
Congratulations to our students who were accepted to their Early schools! See below for a complete list of our students’ acceptances so far. We’ll continue to update it as more Early Action results are released throughout January and February.
