For the application year 2023, John Jay College of Criminal Justice had a Regular Decision (RD) acceptance rate of 55.3%, with 10,214 out of 18,475 applicants admitted. This marks a significant increase from previous years, as the acceptance rate was only 50.7% in 2022, 44.6% in 2021, and just 37.2% in 2020. The number of applicants has varied significantly, with a peak of 21,009 in 2020, indicating a steady rise in selectivity over the past few years. The consistent upward trend in acceptance rates, from 34% in 2016 to the current rate, suggests that the college is becoming more accessible, despite the increasing applicant pool.
