It's so easy to forget that Da U is actually a pretty good school.

Yes, absolutely.

Hyde Park, especially around UChicago, is a nice neighborhood. It's just the area around it is not the kind of place where you would want to be.

I’ll admit that I was not aware of this fact.

LSU
SAT:
1710
1530 - 1890
ACT:
25
23 - 28

Ole Miss
SAT:
1642
1485 - 1800
ACT:
24
21 - 28

Pretty damn close, and Ole Miss is required by their state to have lower standards. What is LSU's excuse?

How is colorado college the hardest school to get into in colorado when School of Mines is there. That aint right

CC is tiny. The whole campus is like 3 blocks long. No idea what enrollment is but it can't be very high. They probably turn a higher percentage away than Mines.

Definitely better than LSU and Ole Miss, and a T30 Law school.

Clemson. Looks like someone snuck in from just off campus and snapped a clandestine picture.

Like I said, they have legal requirements to let in certain people that couldn't get in otherwise. What I posted is the average. A hair under LSU.

Most of those people with 16 ACT's probably drop out after a year.

You don't think that's a problem?

What would LSU's averages be if they had that rule? Much lower than Ole Miss' currently are.

Sure, but the fact that our taxes pay for public universities in the first place is a bigger problem.

Not sure why you got downvoted.

It's a dumb list

Should of been, best schools in each state. There are some goofy colleges with weird rules that would make it harder, although not better than any of the other colleges in the state, actually maybe a little worse.



The list doesn't show the whole picture. Berea College in Kentucky is so hard to get into because there's no tuition which leads to an income limit. Your family has to financially eligible for you to get in and then once you do you have to work an on campus job to pay your liability.

I have a hard time believing Washington & Lee is harder to get into that the University of Virginia -- or William & Mary for that matter.

Acceptance rates are meaningless in isolation. It's all about the applicant pool.

The 84% of people rejected by Mississippi Valley State probably have ACTs of less than 14 and 2.0 GPAs (the minimum to graduate high school).
