Is there a school like Yale (size, liberal arts, residential, east coast) but with 25% admission rate?

Bit bigger but Fordham and College of Charleston (south)

+1 bucknell

Also Lehigh & Case

Location and selectivity might not match, but consider: Vanderbilt?

Huh? Virginia is East Coast. Literally has a coastline on the Ocean.


Yeah I get it but at what point does “East coast” turn into “the south?”
Some would argue Virginia hits that mark.
And at that point it’s not really about whether the state touches the ocean.


Wtf. No. The East Coast includes the SE, the mid Atlantic, the ME, New England etc.

not east coast and not ND, but ND is an easier admit than Yale and on the ND tour, we said, this reminds me of Yale.

ND may be an easier admit than Yale, but nowhere near a 25% admit rate. And it's not on the east coast.

It's a wonderful school, but it's tiny (around 2200).

You can be south of north. And west of east. But not south of east...


Believe me—no one who says “I went to school on the East Coast” when they really mean Virginia


I grew up out west and we regarded everything from Maine to Florida as "the East Coast".

William and Mary is twice the size.

Wake Forest is pretty close, same size. but admissions rate is closer to 20 percent.

+ 2 From California and anything on the Atlantic Ocean is the East Coast. East Coast doesn’t mean New England or NYC metro just like West Coast doesn’t mean only California. Oregon and Washington are West Coast too.
