70% acceptance rate a good sign?

It’s probably not very good. It means it isn’t selective or not many students apply there.

Most schools have ~20-25% interview rate, and then a 10-20% acceptance. Even one of UC Riverside’s program I was looking into had an 18% acceptance rate.

If you’re very interested in the research/work/professors, however, you should pursuit this school.
