Colleges with Increasing Admission Rates?

Hey everyone, I'm a bit nervous here. I'm aware that some colleges' admission rates have been skyrocketing recently and I want to apply smartly in the coming months. So, I was wondering if anyone knows of colleges that are experiencing a consistent rise in admissions? Not that it majorly affects my choice, but it could be a bit of a morale booster y'know.

You're right, while many colleges have seen their acceptance rates decrease over the past years, some colleges have maintained or even seen an increase in their admission rates. Here are a few:

1. University of Arizona: In recent years, the University of Arizona has had an acceptance rate of around 85%. This public university is renowned for its strong programs in business, engineering, and education.

2. University of Alabama: The acceptance rate at University of Alabama has been around 76% making it a large selective university with an expansive range of majors.

3. Iowa State University: This university is known for its programs in engineering, design, and agriculture. Their acceptance rate has been stable around 89%.

4. University of Dayton: This private Catholic university in Ohio, known for its programs in engineering and business, has an acceptance rate of about 62%.

5. University of Oklahoma: The University of Oklahoma has maintained a relatively high acceptance rate of around 77%. It's known for its strong programs in meteorology, engineering, and musical theatre.

6. Loyola University New Orleans: Located in the heart of New Orleans, Loyola is well-regarded for its programs in music and arts and sciences, with an acceptance rate of approximately 88%.

I hope that seeing these rates could reassure you. Remember, while admission rates can give you a sense of a school's selectivity, they don't reflect whether the school is a good fit for you. Consider the academic programs, campus culture, location, and other factors important to you when selecting schools to apply to. Best of luck in your applications!
