Northwest Nazarene University has maintained a consistent acceptance rate of 63.0% for domestic applicants in both the application years 2023 and 2024, with 3,571 applicants and 2,248 accepted each year. This marks a significant decline from the 88.2% acceptance rate seen in 2022, when 3,394 applicants were accepted. The stable numbers over the last two years indicate that the university is becoming increasingly selective, potentially reflecting a growing pool of qualified candidates.
