Fascinating. Also interesting to compare success rates between schools. There are schools that have a relatively low number of applications that nonetheless get a high % approved.

Lots of ways to parse the data.

Edited to Add: Would have loved to be able to see specific programs applied to and application success rate. I’m pretty sure some programs way more competitive than others.

Here was Brown’s press release which offers some recent institutional historic context…

As another example, if the number of grants were considered in relation to student population, Pitzer would place first in any category.

Because I like to see some of the not-so-common names (ie. not-so-common on CC) that were making the list, here are some of the ones that caught my attention, sorted by university classification.

Baccalaureate Institutions (By my eyeballing, most of the Top X liberal arts colleges seemed to have about a 20-25% award rate)

  • College of Saint Benedict (MN): 8 awarded, 19 applied
  • Kalamazoo (MI): 4 awarded, 19 applied
  • Hope (MI): 3 awarded, 5 applied
  • Linfield (OR): 3 awarded, 5 applied
  • U. of Mary Washington (VA): 3 awarded, 14 applied
  • Concordia at Moorhead (MN): 2 awarded, 4 applied
  • Hanover (IN): 2 awarded, 6 applied
  • Luther (IA): 2 awarded, 7 applied
  • Southwestern (TX): 2 awarded, 3 applied
  • Spelman (GA): 2 awarded, 5 applied
  • Transylvania (KY): 2 awarded, 2 applied (100% rate)
  • U. of Minnesota - Morris: 2 awarded, 8 applied
  • Westmont (CA): 2 awarded, 6 applied

These baccaulaureate colleges had 1 awarded of 1 applied, so 100% award rate:

  • Bard College at Simon’s Rock (MA)
  • Bethany (WV)
  • Carroll (MT)
  • Central (IA)
  • Goshen (IN)
  • Marymount Manhattan (NY)

  • U. of South Florida: 10 awarded, 53 applied
  • Elon (NC): 9 awarded, 19 applied
  • Michigan State: 9 awarded, 35 applied
  • U. of Louisville (KY): 9 awarded, 33 applied
  • Ohio U.: 8 awarded, 30 applied
  • U. of Maryland - Baltimore County: 8 awarded, 35 applied (College Park had 8 awarded, 38 apply)
  • U. of North Texas: 8 awarded, 19 applied
  • Saint Louis U (MO): 7 awarded, 20 applied
  • Texas State: 7 awarded, 22 applied

There were so many universities that I was too tired to list, but each type of institution is linked in its category name (i.e. Baccaulaureate, Master’s, Doctoral). But this goes to show that there are great students at so many schools and that strong students can do well at so many lesser-known schools. Thanks so much for sharing the link @apple23!

Normally, these sorts of threads annoy me, because they have a predictable trajectory, so thank you @AustenNut for keeping it from being a “battle of the elites” (iteration # 2,582,904) but rather a look at the academic brilliance found at those less popular colleges.

It’s a good
