Northern Illinois University Domestic Students Acceptance Rate

Northern Illinois University reported a domestic acceptance rate of 70.7% for the application year 2024, with 25,961 applicants and 18,377 accepted. This acceptance rate is consistent with the previous year, 2022, where the same figures were recorded. There is no available data for the application years 2021, 2020, 2019, or 2018, making it difficult to identify broader historical trends beyond the most recent two years. The high acceptance rate positions NIU as a relatively accessible option for domestic students.
