Hi! I'm a junior from out of state and I'm considering applying to the University of Connecticut (UConn). I've heard that public universities sometimes have lower acceptance rates for out-of-state students. Does anyone know what the out-of-state acceptance rate for UConn is? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
Hi there! You're correct that public universities can have different acceptance rates for in-state and out-of-state students. In the case of the University of Connecticut, the overall acceptance rate is around 55%. While there's no set out-of-state acceptance rate, it's worth noting that out-of-state students do make up a significant portion of the student body. About 26% of the total undergraduate students at UConn are from out-of-state.
That being said, it's always a good idea to focus on making your application as strong as possible to improve your chances of being accepted. This includes showcasing your academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and writing a compelling essay. Best of luck with your college search and application process!
