What is Kansas City University (KCU)'s acceptance rate?

Kansas City University (KCU) 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 Kansas City University (KCU) received 5,626 applications for 424 seats in the entering class, which is 13.3 applications per seat.
