What Is Nova Southeastern's Acceptance Rate?

Nova Southeastern does not publish a single acceptance rate that we can source. Its 106 seats against 801 applicants works out to about 13%, or 7.6 applicants for every seat.

Last checked Nov 2, 2026.

Seats: 106 Official
Applicants: 801 Official
Applicants per seat: 7.6 Estimate
Seats divided by applicants: 13% Estimate

That makes Nova Southeastern the 8th most competitive of 25 programs by applicants per seat. Nationwide, 2,897 applicants competed for 1,956 seats, and 72% were accepted somewhere.

Treat the percentage as a rough guide. Most applicants apply to several schools (the average is 4.3) and a school's applicant count includes people who never finish, so seats divided by applicants is not the share of applicants who got in. For a fairer read, compare your own numbers with the class: stats checker.

Closest in applicants per seat: Pikeville (KY) (7.3) and NSU Oklahoma (8.1).
