Leading the list is Kettering College of Medical Arts which sent acceptance letters to only 28% of the 268 students who applied and rejected 72%.

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.
