Ivy League schools have begun to release early-admission numbers for the class of 2021. They're considerably higher than the regular-decision admissions numbers that will come in the spring.
Though the Ivies are notoriously tough to get into — their regular-admission acceptance rates range from 5.2% to 13.96% — you might be surprised to learn that other schools have even lower acceptance rates.
Below, find eight US schools that are even more selective than some of the Ivies, according to statistics provided on the class of 2020* admission rates from school websites or admissions offices directly.
*US Military Academy and US Naval Academy figures are based on figures from the class of 2019.
