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

About 75% of undergraduates are in on campus housing

Loyola is considered the "Little Yale of Baltimore." (With JHU being the "Big Yale" of course.)

Very few students live on campus for more than. 2 years at Hopkins.

So, if op is looking for medium size, not uncommon to live on campus all 4 years, liberal arts college, there is Rice, Vandy, Wake, maybe BC and Villanova?

William and Mary requires living on campus first two years.

Boston College's acceptance rate was 14% this year. It also does not have a residential college system.

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


Also true of Connecticut.

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


It does have a similar residence system though.


and literally acknowledged it's not on the east coast. no need to police those who are policing themselves.

I grew up out west and we regarded everything from Maine to Florida as "the East Coast".
I grew up outside of Boston and we did the same. Now, “Northeast Coast” is more what the OP is describing.

William and Mary is twice the size.

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


W&M is twice the size of what? Yale has just under 7,000 undergraduate students (6,749 to be precise), same as W&M (6,797 to be exact).

Elon comes to mind as another school at that size but not sure it’s all that similar otherwise. Definitely less competitive!

How is Virginia not part of the East Coast when it has Atlantic Shore Coastline? Maine to Florida, and everything in between, are part of the Eastern Seaboard. Just like Oregon, Washington, and California are part of the West Coast.

Let me consolidate four pages of responses for you - No.

Less diversity and more isolated, though.

Furman University is a gem.

It depends on what "like" translates to.
