Historical Acceptance Rates

Tennessee State University's overall acceptance rate for the application year 2024 is 68.0%, with 14,763 applicants and 10,039 students admitted. This represents a decline from the previous application years, where the acceptance rate was 72.5% for both 2023 and 2022, with identical applicant numbers of 12,868 and 9,329 accepted. Notably, there were no Early Action applications during these years, indicating that all admissions occurred during the Regular Decision process. This downward trend in acceptance rates may suggest a more competitive applicant pool in recent years.
