How to interpret the acceptance rate
Most applicants in the reported entering-class pool were admitted: 91.2%, above the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size). The published rate summarizes an admissions outcome across that pool, rather than setting a threshold for an individual application.
It is a broad-admission-rate picture relative to comparable institutions, but it does not indicate any one applicant's odds.
