Hi! I'm from out of state and interested in applying to Auburn University. Are the acceptance rates for out-of-state students lower than for in-state students? Just trying to gauge my chances here, thanks!
Hi there! Auburn University does not specifically disclose separate acceptance rates for in-state versus out-of-state students. However, it's important to note that many public universities, including Auburn, have a mission to prioritize serving in-state students. As a result, they may admit a higher proportion of in-state applicants. That being said, out-of-state students are still admitted, and you should not be discouraged from applying if you are interested in attending Auburn.
The overall acceptance rate at Auburn University is around 44%, which is relatively competitive. To increase your chances of getting accepted, focus on having a strong application that includes good grades, test scores (if applicable), and well-rounded extracurricular activities. Remember that Auburn looks at your application holistically, so highlighting your strengths and unique qualities will help you stand out among other applicants, whether in-state or out-of-state.
Best of luck with your application to Auburn!
