Parents don't approve of my college choice

In terms of Kentucky colleges, St. John’s is better by a long shot. With a 22 on the ACT you can pretty much guarantee yourself admission into any college in Kentucky, except for maybe Centre or Transylvania. St. John’s is somewhat of a selective school, only 46% of applicants are accepted, UK is 70%.

<p>Admission rate is not a reliable indicator of selectivity, since each school’s applicant pool is different.</p>

<p>Do not make the mistake of judging a school by its worst students. Even though University of Kentucky may have lower minimums, its average and top students have higher high school credentials than St. John’s University does.</p>
