Colleges with the Lowest Acceptance Rate in New York for 2019
These are the most selective colleges in New York. We've ranked the schools which reject over fifty percent of applicants. Leading the list is The Juilliard School which sent acceptance letters to only 6% of the 2,753 students who applied and rejected 94%. Interestingly, not all schools on our "most selective" lists are overly academically challenging. 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 space to admit them all.
