Admissions Overview

UNO maintains an open admission policy with an 85.86% acceptance rate. Most qualified Nebraska residents can expect admission, making this an accessible option for students seeking a Division I research university experience. The average ACT score of 22 falls near the national average, indicating the school welcomes students with solid but not strong test performance. With 90.64% of students coming from in-state, UNO primarily serves Nebraska residents looking for an urban university experience. The school seeks motivated students interested in business, public service, or research opportunities within Omaha's metropolitan setting. Strong community connections and practical career preparation matter more here than top academic credentials.
