    What University of Nevada-Las Vegas looks for

    • What ACT score do I need for University of Nevada-Las Vegas?

      Middle 50% ACT range is 18 to 25. The top of that range or above is what most admitted students submit when they choose to send a score.

    • What is the acceptance rate at University of Nevada-Las Vegas?

      University of Nevada-Las Vegas admits roughly 96% of applicants. An acceptance rate above 40% means a strong application can land here without high-end stats.

    • What does University of Nevada-Las Vegas actually cost after financial aid?

      Average net cost (after institutional aid) is about $10,359 per year. Net cost varies enormously by family income; run the school's net price calculator for an estimate that reflects your situation.

    • Is University of Nevada-Las Vegas a reach, match, or safety for me?
