I want to know what are some less selective schools but still a school that it pretty reputable and highly regarded?
How do you define less selective? Any restrictions (ex. finances, geography)? What type of school are you looking for (size, etc.).
Try using the SuperMatch on CC.
There are over 100, maybe 200 schools that fit that description. How about giving us some more details about yourself and what you are looking for. And yes, SuperMatch on CC is an excellent place to start.
University of Akron

Evergreen State College, in Olympia, WA. Any college that accepts more than 80% of applicants is “less selective.” Are you interested in a “less-selective” college or a “non-selective” one (ie. a college with close to a 100% acceptance rate)?
Auburn University
Less selective like 50-60??? and a small like around 15000 students?
Yeah less selective like 50-60 and student body around 10-15000
-Fordham (48%)
-Baylor (55%)
-Rutgers (60%)
Some state universities must fit that description, more or less.
SUNY - New Paltz is a bit smaller and more selective.
UConn and Pittsburgh are a bit bigger, but fall in that admission range.
Vermont is in the size range, but is a bit less selective.
Miami-Ohio is just a bit bigger and less selective, but (like Vermont) is one of Richard Moll’s original “public Ivies”.
Syracuse (private) has just over 15K undergrads and a ~53% admit rate.
What part of the country are you in? Private or public, or no preference? What do you want to study? What are your grades and test scores?
My daughter just applied to a regional public school in the Midwest - Ball State in Indiana - that has a 60% admissions rate. They have about 15-16k undergrads (a few k grads which brings the campus size to around 20k).
(I don’t know why their acceptance rate is lower than average for regional publics, but a friend who works there told me they have been trying to recruit more students with higher grades and scores. My daughter applied just because she really liked the school when we visited and they have all of her potential majors - and we live in a neighboring state where she’d pay only half the OOS tuition. )
She also looked into University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire that I believe has a similar acceptance rate.
UWEC is considered one of the better UW schools, aside from Madison, and they have about 12k students.
There are probably more private schools that fit your criteria.
Does it have to be 60% or less? Can it be higher?
Again, what are your stats?
Texas Tech, Kansas, Kansas state, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Nebraska-omaha, Mississippi, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Arizona state, Colorado, Co. state, Wyoming, any in N. or S. Dakota,
10-15,000 is a medium-large university (strictly speaking, “small” is under 2,000; medium is about till 5,000.) A college always “feels” larger than a HS with a similar number of students, due to the departments, labs, etc.
What are your budget constraints?
UScranton, SUNY Geneseo, Creighton, Bradley, Florida Tech (for stem), Ithaca, LMU-LA, Loyola Chicago, Lindenwood, Marquette, Saint Louis University, UTampa would all work.
Run the NPC to see prices, then look up the affordable ones for fit.
I don’t mind if its private or public
And I don’t have a budget
First you need to figure out your budget. Ask your parents, run NPCs with them, and come back here with a number or a range (optimal to maximum).
