Colleges with the Lowest Acceptance Rate in for 2019

Leading the list is Florida Memorial University which sent acceptance letters to only 27% of the 6,802 students who applied and rejected 73%.

Schools with less rigorous standardized test and high school GPA requirements may receive a large numbers of qualified applicants and the school does not have the capacity to potentially enroll.
