Western Carolina University has recorded an international acceptance rate of 14.9% for the application year 2024, with 1,376 applicants and 205 accepted. This marks a significant decline from the previous year's acceptance rate of 25.2%, where 1,031 international students applied and 260 were accepted for the application year 2023. The drop in acceptance rates indicates increased competition among applicants and a more selective admission process over this period.
