Looking at unis in the UK and have found admit rates for all of them except Aberystwyth. Anyone know a rate (or an estimate of one) for there?
94% is the posted number, but about 50% is more accurate once you take it to ‘serious’ applicants (ie, ones who are even in the ballpark).
Unless you are doing a research project, though, the overall admissions rate is pretty useless: it’s the admissions rate for the course you are interested in applying to that matters.
Aberystwyth does not have high entry requirements @collegemom3717 so I highly doubt there’s a distinct difference between ‘serious’ applicants and ‘normal applicants’.
And according to The Times and The Sunday Times University Guide 2017, the overall offer rate for Aberystwyth is 98.1%. If the overall offer rate is so high, then I doubt that there will be much difference for specific courses (your likelihood of an offer will be higher if you’re a non-EU applicant.
