What is Des Moines University (DMU)'s acceptance rate?

Des Moines University (DMU) does not publish an acceptance rate, and neither does any free national source. Those sources publish applications and matriculants, not the number of offers a school made, so a rate cannot be calculated from them without inventing the missing number. What can be stated in 2024-2025 is that Des Moines University (DMU) received 4,479 applications for 227 seats in the entering class, which is 19.7 applications per seat.
