Gustavus Adolphus College's Regular Decision acceptance rate for the application year 2024 is 61.7%, with 4,450 applicants and 2,750 admitted. This marks a significant decline from the previous application year 2023, which also had an acceptance rate of 61.7%, but contrasts sharply with the more favorable rates seen in earlier years—73.8% in 2022 and 72.57% in 2021. Historical data reveals a downward trend in acceptance rates over the past few years, from 70.61% in 2020 to 69.24% in 2019, indicating increasing selectivity at the college. Applicants should be aware of this trend when preparing their applications.
