How to interpret the acceptance rate

King University admits nearly every applicant, with an admission rate of 99.7%. The median of 75.7% for comparable institutions (same type and size) is well below that figure.

A rate this high means the admissions process is not the primary barrier for most prospective students.

About these student measures

The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.

King University enrolls 908 undergraduates, a scale where the composition of the student body tells you as much as any single figure. 41.6% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants, and an estimated 53.2% arrive as transfers or part-time students.

That means the campus is built around students who started elsewhere and students using federal grant aid, rather than a single traditional entry path. The admission rate of 99.7% is well above the median of 75.7% for comparable institutions.

At King University, 60.1% of full-time bachelor's-seeking students return for a second year, and 47.9% finish within six years. Comparable institutions post medians of 74.2% and 54.9%, so both rates run below the peer benchmarks.

Pell Grant recipients in the same entering cohort complete at 38.5%, which is 9.4 percentage points below the overall six-year rate. The gap is a fact about outcomes, not a verdict on the institution.

An enrolled student should see these numbers as a starting point for a conversation with an advisor. The rates describe a broad pattern, and a student's own path depends on factors that no aggregate can capture.
