What is Pacific Northwest University (PNWU)'s acceptance rate?

Pacific Northwest University (PNWU) 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 Pacific Northwest University (PNWU) received 3,300 applications for 145 seats in the entering class, which is 22.8 applications per seat.
