The UC Davis acceptance rate stands at 41.8%, meaning that of every 100 students who apply to the UC Davis admissions, the university is likely to offer the opportunity to enroll at the UC Davis campus to around 41 or 42 students. This makes the admission criteria of the university somewhat selective as less than half the students are likely to be admitted.
When it comes to the UC Davis acceptance rate for international students, it stands at 50.6%, which is slightly higher than the general admission rate of the university, meaning that securing entry is slightly less competitive for international students.
