Admissions Overview

University of Idaho is less selective with a 73.85% acceptance rate. Most students who apply get in, making it accessible for B and C students looking for a solid state university experience. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 990-1250 on the SAT or around 24 on the ACT. These aren't particularly high bars for a four-year university. The school attracts students interested in hands-on learning, particularly in engineering, agriculture, and natural resources. Idaho wants students who appreciate small-town college life and value practical education over prestige. The Vandals seek applicants who will contribute to campus community rather than chase rankings.
