WiSioux Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Saw this on Yahoo... and I will admit up front I read none of the article and only looked at the map/legend...But Minot State? Really?

SiouxVolley Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Imagine that a lot of Canadian kids get rejected at Minot St. Tuition for them is the same as North Dakota residents.Jamestown is probably the most eclusive college in ND.

jdub27 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 It looks like 60% of the ranking is based on acceptance rate, which somehow at Minot State is only 56.6% and boosts their rating. The other 40% is made up of 25th and 75th percentile of SAT/ACT scores of enrolled students.Strangely enough, Dickinson State comes in second and has the lowest acceptance rate in the state (48.7%) despite having the worst SAT/ACT scores of enrolled students at both the 25th and 75th percentile.

ScottM Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I kind of questioned that "study" too, when I saw that Washington & Lee was rated are more competitive than UVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
