Sure, Rochester, New York, has quite a few colleges that generally have high acceptance rates.

One is Monroe Community College, a public institution with flexible course options. This college offers associates degrees and certificate programs across various fields. It has open admissions, which means it accepts any student with a high school diploma or GED.

If you're seeking four-year institutions, you might look into St. John Fisher College. While it's a bit more competitive with an acceptance rate around 65%, it's known for its friendly and inclusive campus community and broad range of majors.

Another college worth considering is Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Although RIT is more on the competitive side (66% acceptance rate), it's noted for its strong programs in art & design, and computer science.

Finally, State University of New York Brockport (SUNY Brockport) is also a good option, with an acceptance rate of 53%. This institution offers a broad range of programs.

Remember to consider not just the acceptance rates, but also how well the college aligns with your interests, career goals and the type of campus environment you prefer.
