Iowa State University's international acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 68.4%, with 2,250 of 3,290 applicants being accepted. This marks a notable increase from 65.2% in 2023 and a significant rise from the previous years, which saw acceptance rates of only 8.5% for 2022, 8.0% for 2021, and 7.9% for 2020. The dramatic growth in acceptance rates over the past couple of years indicates a substantial shift in the university's approach to international admissions, making it a more inviting option for prospective students.
