Where does your school rank?
Earlier this month I wrote about how it really is harder to get into college this year as especially the elite colleges around the country have been swamped with applications. In Monday’s paper, I took a look how this phenomenon is unfolding in Ohio and the impact on colleges popular with Dayton seniors.
While researching this, one question I had to ask was what are the “elite” colleges in Ohio — the ones that are most selective and hardest to get into? For guidance, I looked to The Princeton Review, which on its website uses several factors to create a “selectivity rating” as a to help prospective students gauge how hard it is to get into each school.
I pulled the rating for Ohio schools and thought you might find the ranking interesting. The ratings go from a low of 60 for least selective to a high of 100 for most selective. Here’s how a sampling of Ohio’s colleges rate:
Oberlin 96
Kenyon 95
Miami 94
Denison 93
Case Western 91
Ohio Northern 87
Xavier 86
Cedarville 86
