Without looking, I'm guessing Tulane.
ETA: yep. What else could it possibly be?

Having coached at Friends I have a hard time believing it’s that hard to get into. I could be wrong but our head track coach I worked under got some absolute idiots in so…

From this article, I learned:
1) there is a BYU-Hawaii
2) apparently anyone can get into Ol Miss

2nd place likely tie of LSU and Centenary. Extremely higher than Tulane. Tulane's MBA isn't good. It's seen as relatively the same as LSU. They had a big scandal about lying what their class average GMAT was and never recovered.

considering there really isn't any other college that's hard to get into, yeah, it's not that hard to figure out....

it's why I find it very funny when I see all the parents posting that their kid "got into" (school name) for college... it isn't quite the flex they think it is, as getting into almost any of the other colleges doesn't require all that much other than average grades and scores, and a healthy appetite for paying a lot of money for continued education

Belhaven in Jackson with only a 47% graduation rate. So why would I want to pay $18k a year for a college that my kid likely won't graduate from?

Difficult to get into or not, once you're at Tulane and you look around at all the kids from New Jersey majoring in beer and weed, you realize you're getting Rutgers in a Princeton dress.

Could it be the demographics of scholarship students bringing down the graduation rate?

Apparently, acceptance rate and quality of school or education are in no way proportional.

Loyola’s acceptance rate went to 100% in the era of DEI, especially if you mention you’re black or lgbt
