I think the acceptance rate must be relatively high since they are still in the early days. They have had only had two years of graduating nurses. There were only had 15 graduates in 2013 - with a dismal 73% NCLEX pass rate. If they can't pull it up to >80% for 2014, their accreditation will be in jeopardy.

The biggest problem with WGU is arranging clinical sites. Hosting students is a drain on productivity and a potential source of liability - so most organizations are only willing to work with more structured programs in their own vicinity.
