What admissions looks at
Admission requirements vary depending on the programme and level of study.
What the rate does (and does not) tell you
- A published rate is a demand signal - not a reason for a strong applicant to skip applying
- Programme-level competitiveness (especially MBA, medicine, and top STEM master's) can differ from the university-wide figure
- Profile fit, essays, recommendations, and funding readiness matter as much as scores
