Limitations — read this before you rely on it
A single-cycle descriptive rate only; it does not adjust for applicant quality, multiple applications per person, or yield (accepted students who enrol).
Frequently asked questions
Not necessarily. It measures demand relative to places, not teaching quality, outcomes or fit.
No. Count only firm offers; waitlist figures are shown separately here.
Application numbers and class sizes move, so compare the same cycle and the same applicant pool.
No. Individual chances depend on grades, tests, essays and fit, not the overall rate.
There is no universal good value; context such as programme, country and applicant pool matters more than the number alone.
