Hey peeps. I'm compiling a list of colleges to apply to and challenge myself. Does anyone know what the most selective college in the country is? Any insights?
Sure, the most selective college in the U.S., based on acceptance rates, is traditionally Stanford University. Their acceptance rate is usually in the low single digits. But do note that selectivity varies slightly from year to year due to fluctuations in the number of applications they receive, who applies, etc. So, while making your college list, do take into account other factors beyond acceptance rates, such as academic programs, culture and fit, geographical preferences, financial aid, etc. Best of luck with your applications!
