Colleges with the Lowest Acceptance Rate in ohio for 2019
These are the most selective colleges in ohio. We've ranked the schools which reject over fifty percent of applicants by rate of acceptance. 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%. 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 the capacity to potentially enroll.
