What the hell is the one in South Carolina? I’ve never even seen that logo in my life
10 years ago at 10:55 amLander
10 years ago at 10:59 amOh that’s Lander’s logo? Huh lives in SC my whole life and never knew that
10 years ago at 11:33 pmWhich is baffling because Lander is in a shithole that is Greenwood, SC and their academic standards are extremely low.
10 years ago at 2:30 pmI’ve never heard of half these places. What is Rust College?
10 years ago at 10:56 amThe most depressing collection of buildings you’ve ever seen. Most are decaying or collapsed. They should probably loosen their standards.

10 years ago at 11:26 amCongratulations to the students of Curtis Institute of Music on being accepted to the most selective school in the nation, now go and get those jobs!
10 years ago at 11:00 amThey could always “write” for Grandex.
10 years ago at 12:29 pmIf they go to that school they likely will make tons of money in professional orchestras and such. Pretty boring but hey, they can make average $31.74 an hour or anywhere from 70k to a little over 100k. It’s those damn art majors that get nowhere.
10 years ago at 12:49 pmGet outta here, liberal.
10 years ago at 8:47 pm1. Florida. What the fuck school is that.
2. Juilliard? Really?
10 years ago at 11:25 amCan’t knock the music/performing arts nerds for working hard. It takes a lot of dedication to aspire to a nobody trying to survive in NYC.
10 years ago at 12:03 pmHahahahaha this list is pretty inaccurate. University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff is 100% not the “most selective” – I think the only admissions requirement is that you be black and have a pulse. They have the lowest acceptance rate because they have the fewest people apply there.
10 years ago at 11:26 amAcceptance rate would increase if your applicant pool decreases, genius.
10 years ago at 12:04 pmGive him a break he’s from Arkansas.
10 years ago at 12:19 pmThat Arkansas education is treating you well, isn’t it sport.
10 years ago at 12:21 pmYou seem to have a pretty poor grasp of what’s going on here. “Most selective” is the same thing as “lowest acceptance rate.” No one is trying to say that they’re the best schools in the state, if you can even quantify that kind of thing. And if you have any questions about the fundamental meaning of an acceptance rate, refer to the comment above.
10 years ago at 12:29 pmTake a lap and quit making Arkansas look bad. We aren’t all fools incapable of reading comprehension, just ArkansasFratDaddy is.
10 years ago at 1:58 pmArkansas is a shit state. Get over it. Have you ever even seen the ocean??
10 years ago at 7:51 amIt beats the everloving fuck out of living in the Northeast. Mississippi has better beaches that you fucking yankees, so quiet down
10 years ago at 4:46 pmThey should make one with least selective colleges by state instead, that would be much more interesting to me.
10 years ago at 11:40 amWhat the fuck is an Adventist University?
10 years ago at 12:14 pmFUCK SIG NU!!!!!!!!
10 years ago at 7:48 pmI’m not sure about most of those colleges, but I do know that Adventist University in Florida had a 96% acceptance rate in 2010. Even FSU is more selective.
10 years ago at 12:27 pmBYU’s emblem just looks like the yahoo logo.
10 years ago at 1:40 pmThis map got shot to shit when they chose a for-profit college as being the “most selective” school in a state. Although….. at the same time it may be the most selective college in the state of Arizona.
10 years ago at 1:58 pmStop whining ASU
