<p>Colleges that admit most applications because they have something unique about them that doesn't appeal to most people.</p>
<p>St John's Univeristy for one.</p>
<p>Any others?</p>
<p>Cal Tech in Pasadena</p>
<p>I think you meant St. John’s College. :)</p>
<p>Deep Springs and the military academies come to mind as self-selective colleges. They don’t admit most applicants, though.</p>
<p>Yes I did mean St. John’s College sorry about that.</p>
<p>U of Chicago, Reed fall under the category of self selecting, but don’t admit most students either anymore.</p>
<p>yield and accept rate at military academies</p>
<p>United States Coast Guard Academy 93 8
United States Naval Academy 83 14
United States Air Force Academy 81 18
United States Military Academy 80 16</p>
<p>I could see how it falls under what I said but can we exclude military academies! :D</p>
<p>yield, accept rate</p>

<p>lots of schools that are religious or located on Islands like Hawaii or Puerto Rico</p>
<p>engineering schools, schools with nerdy rep.</p>
<p>GT, UIUC, Purdue</p>
<p>Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (Prescott AZ campus)</p>
<p>2008-2009
1148 applied
accepted 990 (86%)
416 enrolled
typical numbers</p>
<p>Our high school lists ERAU as non-competitive for this reason. Which I guess it is. But if you don’t want to study in an aviation/engineering field then you just don’t apply here.</p>
<p>Women’s colleges</p>
<p>Marlboro College in Vermont</p>
<p>I second zapfino. From what I’ve heard the acceptance rates of most (often very high-ranked) women’s colleges are much higher, simply because fewer people, but very qualified people apply.</p>
<p>totally agree with zapfino</p>
<p>The womans colleges have high acceptance rates because the majority of their applicants are very well qualified.</p>
<p>Most women’s colleges are considered self-selecting, which is why our admit rates seem so inflated. There are women’s colleges that admit more than 90% of their applicants but still have higher-than-average SATs and GPAs.</p>
<p>Can transgendered people get into women’s colleges?</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins.</p>
