Virginia State University's overall acceptance rate for the application year 2023 is 89.1%, with 10,577 applicants and 9,424 accepted. This marks a slight decrease from 2022, which had an acceptance rate of 89.7% from 8,230 applicants, and a significant drop from 2021's 96.1% acceptance rate when 9,978 students applied. Historically, the acceptance rates have remained high, with figures like 96.3% in 2020 and 95% in 2019, but there is a noticeable trend of declining acceptance rates over the last two years. This suggests a potential increase in competitiveness or a shift in the applicant pool's profile.
