Historical Acceptance Rates
Capella University's overall acceptance rate for the application year 2023 is 79%, with 24,097 applicants and 19,000 students accepted. This is consistent with the acceptance rate from 2017, which also stood at 79% with the same number of applicants, indicating a stable trend in recent years. However, data for the years between 2018 and 2022 is unavailable, which limits insights into acceptance trends during that period.
Wait List Acceptance Rate
Capella University's wait list acceptance rates remain unavailable for the recent application years, including 2024 through 2021, as no data is reported for candidates offered or accepted positions on the wait list. The lack of information over these years indicates a potential inconsistency or change in the admissions process. Applicants should take note of the current uncertainty concerning wait list outcomes, as the historical data does not provide any trends or benchmarks for expected acceptance rates.
Transfer Acceptance Rate
Capella University currently does not provide specific transfer acceptance rate data, indicating a lack of transparency on this front. There are no recorded numbers for applicants or accepted students, which might hinder prospective transfer students from gauging their chances of admission. However, the average GPA of transfer applicants sits at 3.0, suggesting that the university may seek students with moderate academic performance. Without historical data, it's challenging to assess trends or changes in acceptance rates over the years.
