University of Glasgow

Acceptance Rate

The University of Glasgow acceptance rate is 43% for international students. This is a highly accepting institution. However, students should not take this number lightly and submit apt scores and documents before the deadline.

 

In 2021, Glasgow University accepted 74.3% of applicants for its undergraduate programs. This relatively high acceptance rate indicates that while the majority of undergraduate applicants were admitted that year, over 25% were ultimately rejected, pointing to some degree of competitiveness to gain admission. More details on applicants' academic and extracurricular profiles would provide additional context around the 2021 admissions cycle. Nonetheless, the acceptance rate statistic shows that most, but not all, prospective undergraduates who applied ended up receiving offers of admission from Glasgow University.
