For the application year 2024, the University of Detroit Mercy has a domestic acceptance rate of 80.1%, with 4,608 out of 5,750 applicants receiving acceptance. This rate marks a significant decline from the 90.5% acceptance rate in 2022, despite a higher number of applicants compared to the 3,760 applicants in 2018, which resulted in an acceptance rate of 83%.
