Top Colleges Ranked by Acceptance Rate – Private not-for-profit Colleges

Colleges and universities that are more selective are generally seen as more prestigious as it is harder to gain acceptance and enroll. But, there are many factors that influence overall acceptance rate, including the overall number of applicants and the strength of applications received.
