Chances at University of Reno

Hey there! The University of Reno is one of my solid choices because it's close to home. I'm trying to gauge my chances of getting in though. Anyone know what the acceptance rate is like?

The University of Nevada, Reno (commonly known as UNR) typically accepts a good portion of its applicants. According to the most accurate data, UNR's acceptance rate hovers around 88%. This means that it is not as selective as some other institutions, but admissions are still competitive.

Keep in mind that just meeting the minimum requirements isn't a guarantee of admission, but it gets your foot in the door. The average high school GPA of incoming students is about 3.4, and average SAT scores usually fall between 1060 and 1270. These are just averages though, and successful applicants could fall above or below these ranges.

Your application will also be reviewed holistically, with a focus on your high school transcript and the rigor of your courses. Make sure you're taking challenging courses and performing well in them. You’ll want to demonstrate that you're prepared for college-level coursework. It's always a good idea to connect with an admissions representative from UNR to understand what they're seeking in their applicants. Good luck!
