The NJIT acceptance rate of 67% makes it somewhat selective at granting admissions to international students, suggesting the institute only accepts about 7 applications for every 10 it receives.
On the other hand, Golden Gate University, with an acceptance rate of 83%, is far less picky at granting admissions, accepting on average 8.3 applications for every 10 it receives.
Thus, it can be said that GGU is relatively easier to secure admission for international students than NJIT.
Though it's worth noting that GGU is unranked as part of the latest Shiksha Popularity Rankings, while NJIT ranks #124 as part of the same.
