Fall 2026 admissions become less competitive, higher admissions and lower test scores

Statistics from the University of Miami's Fall 2026 applicant cycle show an acceptance rate of 22%, an increase of 4.5 percentage points from Fall 2025, and a decrease in standardized testing scores. This rise in admissions and lower test scores comes after the reinstatement of a standardized test score requirement, which had not been mandatory since 2020.
