I've been looking at University of Nevada, Reno as one of my dream schools but I'm not sure how selective they really are. Do any of you folks know their acceptance rate? Your insights would be super helpful for me!
The University of Nevada, Reno has a relatively high acceptance rate, about 86%, as per recent admissions cycles. This means that out of every 100 students who apply, approximately 86 are admitted. This indicates that while competitive, it's less selective than some other universities.
However, remember that acceptance rate isn't everything. The university will be looking at your GPA, your coursework rigor, the extracurricular activities you're involved in, and more. You should compare your own profile to the average admitted student profile at the university to get a better sense of where you stand.
Just because a school has a high acceptance rate doesn't mean it's a guarantee for everyone who applies. You should still aim to have strong grades and demonstrate your interest in your chosen major or the school in general.
Do keep in mind that you should also have "target" and "safety" schools on your list to ensure you have a good range of schools you'd be happy to attend. But as long as you've done your research and are presenting your best application to them, UNR sounds like it's well within your reach! Good luck with your application!
