acceptance rate
Who gets in
Acceptance rate is the percentage of applicants admitted to an institution or program: Harvard's acceptance rate fell below 4%.
The term appears most often in discussions of college admissions, where a low acceptance rate signals selectivity.
In other contexts, it may describe approval rates for loans, manuscripts, or grant proposals.
