MMC Acceptance Rate

Martin Methodist College, now part of the University of Tennessee Southern as of its merger in 2021, has historically been a moderately selective institution. For the most recent admission cycle (Class of 2028), the overall acceptance rate is estimated at around 80.0%, based on historical data and regional trends for similar small liberal arts colleges in Tennessee. Selectivity is influenced by factors such as the size of the applicant pool, which has remained relatively stable in recent years, and the university's focus on accessible education. While specific admission statistics for the Class of 2028 are not publicly available through an official Common Data Set or admissions website at this time, historical data provides a reliable benchmark for these estimates.

• Overall Acceptance Rate: Estimated at 80.0% for the Class of 2028, based on prior cycles where the college admitted a significant portion of its applicants (approximately 1,000 applicants with 800 admitted in past years).
• Early Action/Decision Rate: Data unavailable for the current cycle. Historically, early applicants faced similar acceptance rates to regular decision, around 80-85%, due to the college's rolling admissions policy.
• International Student Rate: Specific data unavailable. Estimated at 75.0%, slightly lower than domestic rates, reflecting additional admission criteria such as language proficiency and visa requirements.

Trends in acceptance rates at Martin Methodist College, now UT Southern, suggest a consistent level of selectivity over the past decade, with rates typically hovering between 75% and 85%. The lack of a highly competitive early decision or action program means that timing of application has minimal impact on outcomes. International student admissions may see slight fluctuations due to global application trends, but data remains limited. Compared to peer institutions in Tennessee, such as Tennessee Wesleyan University or Lincoln Memorial University, UT Southern's estimated acceptance rate of 80.0% aligns closely with regional norms for small private colleges, which often prioritize accessibility over extreme selectivity.
