Which of the larger universities are easier to secure admission into?

Hi everyone, starting college apps and I'm quite overwhelmed. Can someone guide me towards larger universities that might be a bit easier to get into? I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Sure, I'd be happy to help guide you! There are definitely larger universities that are more accessible in terms of their admission rates. They offer a wide selection of academic programs and resources, and are often located in or near major cities, which can provide additional opportunities for internships and cultural experiences.

Here are a few larger universities you might consider:

1. Arizona State University (ASU) - It's one of the largest universities by enrollment in the U.S., and it has an acceptance rate around 90%. ASU offers over 350 undergraduate academic programs and has a strong reputation in fields like journalism and sustainability.

2. University of North Texas (UNT) - With an acceptance rate around 73%, UNT is another big university you might want to look into. UNT is known for its strong music program.

3. University of Alabama - Located in Tuscaloosa, the University of Alabama has an acceptance rate of roughly 85%. It offers strong programs in business, engineering, and communicative disorders.

4. Indiana University-Bloomington - It has an acceptance rate of around 80% and offers strong programs in business, public health, and the performing arts.

5. University of Oregon - The University of Oregon, with an acceptance rate of around 85%, is recognized for its strong programs in Business and Architecture, among others.

If you're interested in the east coast, big state schools such as Rutgers University in New Jersey, and University of Maryland-College Park also have relatively accessible admission rates.

Remember, the "fit" of a university is important, too - not just the ease of admission. Be sure to research each university's academic programs, campus culture, location, and resources to ensure it could be a good fit for you. You might want to consider visiting the campuses, attending open houses, checking out their course catalogs, and reaching out to current students or alumni to get a better feel for the schools. Best of luck with your college applications!
