University of San Francisco Early Decision Acceptance Rate 2024-2025

CA

What is University of San Francisco's Early Decision acceptance rate?

University of San Francisco admitted 42 of its 85 Early Decision applicants, 49.4% (Common Data Set 2024-2025). 85 Early Decision applications is under the 400 this site requires before it will publish a comparison, so no Early Decision multiple is shown for this school and neither is the admit rate for the rest of the pool. A ratio built on a pool this small is noise, not leverage.

Early Decision · 42 admitted of 85 applied

49.4%

The Early Decision pool is not a random slice of the applicants — recruited athletes, legacy applicants and QuestBridge matches are counted inside it — so this rate describes that group, not an applicant like you.

Admitted SAT · middle 50% · College Scorecard 2024

11901390

Half of admitted students scored inside this range. It is the admitted band, not a minimum and not a cutoff, and it covers the whole entering class rather than the Early Decision round alone.

What families actually pay (AY 2023–24)

Early Decision is binding, so accepting one ends the option of comparing two aid offers. These are the published averages before that choice is made.

Family income under $30k$31,537
Family income $30k–$48k$33,207
Family income $48k–$75k$34,315
Family income $75k–$110k$38,933
Family income over $110k$52,497

Average paid by students receiving federal aid, by family income (College Scorecard).

International students are not eligible for U.S. federal aid, so they are not in this cohort and typically pay closer to the sticker price.

Across the 8 recorded cycles from 2017 to 2024, University of San Francisco's overall acceptance rate fell from 65.6% to 61.7%. That is the whole entering class — Early Decision, Early Action and Regular Decision together — not the Early Decision round on its own.
