Comprehensive Calculator Guide
This calculator works out the share of applicants admitted to a university, programme, scholarship or job, shows it as “one in so many”, and gives the yield if you enter how many enrolled. 3,000 admitted out of 12,000 applicants is a 25% acceptance rate, one in four; if 2,400 enrol, the yield is 80%.
Acceptance, yield and your own chances
Acceptance rate = admitted ÷ applicants × 100: under 10% is highly selective, 10–29% selective, 30–59% moderate, 60%+ fairly open. Yield is the share of admitted students who enrol.
The overall rate averages everyone. At Saudi universities your own chances depend mostly on your weighted score from school grades, Qudurat and Tahsili against past cut-offs.
How to Use
- Enter the applicants and the number admitted.
- Add the number who enrolled to get the yield (optional).
- Press “Calculate” to see the acceptance rate, the one-in figure and how competitive it is.
Formula Used
