Clemson? I find that hard to believe

 

[gordonr24]

Lol at the University of Arkansas being the most difficult.

Really both of those (them and Clemson) are hard to believe. Also find it weird that Hampden-Sydney isn't the one in Virginia

There is a BYU satellite campus in Hawaii? Who knew!

what are the chances?!?!

BYU Idaho and BYU Hawaii. Not sure what defines a satellite campus, but I'm pretty sure they have totally independent administrations.

Look at BYUs football team it' has plenty of Hawaiians and Samoans. Not sure if they're Mormon but maybe that's why the satellite campuses

This is laughable. My daughter went to college in Arkansas at a school which is light years harder to get into than U of A.

am I remembering correctly that you went to BYU at one time?

From looking at it, they put a lot into admission/rejection percentages. I'd guess Arky has such a low acceptance rate because they are applied to by almost every student in the state. So the percentage shows all those kids that don't get in, when in reality it still isn't hard to get accepted

Hampton Sydney is pretty easy to get into. The hard part is paying for it

Yeah, I was there a couple years, but got to a point where I didn't want to commit to the honor code anymore, so I dropped out and finished elsewhere.

really? I just always figured it was kinda both. Maybe cause so few can afford it, they have to take whoever they can get?

Sure don't blame you about the honor code. Only one I've read that seemed worse was Crown College here in Powell, just north of Knoxville

Pretty much. If you've got the $$$ W&L is the best school in VA. Obviously UVA is fantastic

The honor code is pathetic in result, IMO. I know they have good intentions, but there is no way to enforce it for good results. You have 3 types of students:

1 - will never violate honor code
2 - will make honest mistakes and lapses in judgment
3 - never intended to follow honor code and breaks every rule

Group 2 is the people who get kicked out. I had friends kicked out of school for having sex with their GF 1 time. I had another friend who banged all the girls, had 2 DUIs, but just lied through his teeth and graduated from there.

SC doesn't have a hard school to get into, one school just hast to be it.

I would think The Citadel and Furman would be the hardest schools in South Carolina to get into.

The Citadel is a military school so I imagine their criteria is vastly different than a civilian school.

Citadel isn't that hard from what I know, but I didn't apply there. My guess would have been Furman as well, or Presbyterian.

It's a public school though, not private.

 

[VOLatile]

Interesting, I was offered admission to UIC and Vanderbilt out of high school for ME, but ultimately chose a different path. Illinois has a few difficult schools to get into. Northwestern and Loyola have to be up there.

University of Miami is the most difficult in Florida ?

Guess Kellen Winslow had a military scholarship, cause he was a soldier.

That doesn't surprise me. UM is a private, very well respected academic university. No different than Georgetown which is hard to get into, unless you're really good at basketball.
