Getting into Citadel: Acceptance Rate?

Hi everyone, really curious about Citadel's acceptance rate. Had a look online, but the numbers vary quite a bit. Can anyone help me understand their acceptance rate, so I could measure my chances?

Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, is known for its public education in a military format. As per the latest data, Citadel has an acceptance rate of around 98%. This means that for every 100 applications they receive, roughly 98 are accepted.

However, do keep in mind that admission to Citadel is not solely based on their acceptance rate—applicants are reviewed holistically, meaning factors such as GPA, extracurriculars, community service, leadership roles, and even your character play a role, especially considering Citadel's focus on developing principled leaders.

While the acceptance rate gives some indication of the competitiveness of the admissions process, it doesn't mean you're guaranteed admission if you're academically qualified. You should continue to work hard and develop your unique strengths and skills that set you apart from other applicants. Good luck!
