Hey there, looking at Northern Illinois University as a potential college option. Just wanted to know the acceptance rate and how selective the university is. Any insight would be great, thanks!
Northern Illinois University (NIU) is a public university with a relatively high acceptance rate, usually around 70%.
While the acceptance rate provides some insight into the selectivity of the university, it's still important to put your best foot forward in all areas of your application, as your personal chances of acceptance depend much more on your own abilities than on the institution's overall rate. However, if you craft your application thoughtfully, you should have a decent shot of being accepted at NIU.
Best of luck to you!
