How the Creighton rate is worked out

Creighton publishes its own admissions numbers for the Fall 2025 entering class: 2,791 verified AADSAS applicants, 254 offers, 118 enrolled. 254 divided by 2,791 is 9.1%. Source

This counts offers, so it is the share of applicants who were admitted. Fewer than that enroll, because some admitted applicants choose another school.
