University of Tampa
Tampa, Florida
How selective is it?
University of Tampa is in our Selective tier (~30-50% acceptance). A solid academic fit matters, but admission isn't a reach for students in the typical range.
Estimates range ~40-49%.
Tiers are broad on purpose. Acceptance rates move every cycle, and many schools are more competitive for specific majors than the school overall, so use this as a starting point for your list, not a prediction.
How to use University of Tampa in your college list
This is often a realistic target if your grades and course rigor match the school's typical entering class, which you can confirm in its Common Data Set. Popular majors, such as computer science, engineering, or nursing, can be harder to get into than the school-wide tier suggests.
