hardest place to get into? (in %)

Applying to College
1

<p>what place (college/prep school/summer program) and/or pool (intl/full ride) is , IN PERCENTAGES, the hardest to get into?</p>

<p>HYPS?Olin?TASP?RSI?Exeter?SSP?Oxbridge?LSE?Ecole?</p>

<p>just to start out the discussion,
my high school (private, in Turkey) is a most prestigious institute excelled in the education of the gifted that literally handpicks the kids. We accept 60 off of a pool of roughly 6000 applicants. That gives 1%.</p>

2

<p>Your grammar makes your school look really really really really bad.</p>

3

<p>I think Juiliard accepts like… a very small % every year.</p>

<p>The thing is, a school like University of Chicago, who has a near 50% acceptance rate, is very self selective. It’s a great school, but has a high acceptance rate.</p>

4

<p>Lottery (10char).</p>

5

<p>Princeton as a transfer: 0%</p>

6

<p>There have been many threads on this before. Percentage-wise, the hardest place to get into is probably the Indian Institute of Technology.</p>

<p>In America, the hardest university to get into (% wise) is probably Yale.</p>

7

<p>I wonder where in my post this kid found enough grammatical errors to justify insulting me.</p>

<p>Never understood why people disliked foreigners</p>

8

<p>^^^because your post made you sound ridiculously conceited! cool about your school and all… but really? we don’t care that much.</p>

<p>and juilliard is probably the hardest in the US… or Cooper Union</p>

9

<p>Yeah, I heard cooper union since everyone gets a full ride.</p>

10

<p>The hardest place to get into is… YO MOMMA!!!</p>

<p>I’m just kidding, I just said something what my friends would say if asked that question.
Now as in a real answer, I believe Juilliard with around 5% acceptance rate.</p>

11

<p>…out of state, i believe it is UVa. </p>

<p>Otherwise I have no idea.</p>

12

<p>Curtis Institute in Philly is even harder to get into than Juilliard</p>

13

<p>Curtis, Juliard, Yale, Cooper</p>

<p>UVA and UNC-CH are terribly difficult to get into oos</p>

14

<p>Deeps Springs is very hard to get into; last year’s admit rate was 7%.</p>

15

<p>unc is harder to get into oos i think, but i dont know it’s only because alot of people apply beacuse of the basketball lure</p>

<p>however, as far as the number of really qualified applicants versus applicants accepted… i’d probably say harvard</p>

<p>that school gave us the shaft this year no doubt</p>

16

<p>I think Olin is very difficult to get into, and probably like Brown’s med program</p>

17

<p>I’ve seen The Curtis Institute of Music stats at 3%, 5% and 7% over the last few years. Now with The Colburn School Conservtory of Music in the picture to compete for the same students, it may change. Both schools are highly selective and have 145-167 students each - with about 92 (Curtis) Faculty members. I read somewhere that The Curtis is the most selective in the USA, but the % would change from year to year.</p>

18

<p>The military academies are as hard to get into percentage-wise than the Ivies, only you have to be not only intelligent but athletically gifted as well.</p>

19

<p>True, but you don’t have to be an academic superstar. At top 30 colleges, you need truly excellent academic. Not so much at the service academies. This is coming from someone with many family members in the naval academy. The well-rounded part makes it difficult though.</p>

<p>The Curtis Institute of Music, a prestigious conservatory which is free for those accepted, admitted 19 of 330 applicants (5.8%) in 2004.
