How to get in for mathematics and statistics

What readers look for from applicants who declare this field, at any selectivity.

Colleges publish one acceptance rate for the whole school, not per major, so there is no official admit rate for mathematics and statistics. The median acceptance rate among the 384 colleges awarding it is 73%; the most selective (Columbia University, 4%) and the most accessible (Southern New Hampshire University, 100%) both graduate substantial numbers in the field. CollegeCalcAI's calculator applies a published per-major adjustment for "Mathematics" on top of each school's own rate, so your estimate reflects the major you declare.
