Acceptance rates have shown a generally positive trend over the past few years, starting from 75% in 2019, and remained high at 81% in 2020 and 85% in 2021. The steady number of applicants indicates sustained interest in the university despite minor fluctuations in acceptance rates.
Wait List Acceptance Rate
Hawaii Pacific University currently shows no reported wait list statistics for recent application years, including 2024 through 2021. There is no data on the number of applicants offered a place on the wait list, the number accepted, or the acceptance rates during these years. This absence of information reflects a consistent lack of transparency regarding wait list outcomes, leaving prospective students with little guidance on their chances.

Hawaii Pacific University's transfer acceptance rate data is currently unavailable, with no figures reported for the application years 2020 through 2023. However, the average GPA of admitted transfer students stands at 3.58, indicating that the university attracts competitive candidates. The lack of historical acceptance rates makes it challenging to identify trends or fluctuations in the transfer admissions process.
