Public colleges are often a great choice, are generally easier to get into and, being publicly-funded, are less likely to close down. Of course, there are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a college, and it’s really up to your personal preferences for the final decision on where you apply. For our ongoing “top 25 niche bachelor’s colleges” series, we chose to look at the most exclusive public, bachelor’s-granting colleges by admissions rate.
We hope that this rankings list helps you narrow your college search, especially if you are interested in the benefits of a public college, but with a bit of exclusivity that may increase the chances of smaller class sizes and likely more individualized attention, as well as other factors.
Before the actual college rankings for this list, here is a summary of metadata and statistics to help you get a broader view of the 25 schools included here.
NOTES
- As college accreditation can change or only be valid regionally, please verify accreditation of any college to which you are planning to apply.
- NCES data is subject to change and this ranking list uses the most recently reported data at time of writing.
- The Areavibes cost of living score is from Areavibes.com and represents the city/ town of the college in question. It is independent of each college’s on-campus housing costs.

UNC, however, was established in 1798 as a public college — long before W&M became public.

Rectangular Interactive Chart: Tuition vs Net Price
The following chart is interactive. It compares each ranked institution’s official tuition against their average yearly net price (all academic and living costs, averaged across all undergrad students at the institution for the last academic year). Note: the four U.S. service academies have had “$0” substituted for some or all of their tuition and net price values, as those were recorded as “NA” in the NCES.ed.gov database. Chart details:
- A modern browser is required for most of the charting features.
- The vertical Y axis represents cost in dollars, for both net price and tuition data per college.
- The horizontal X axis represents the schools (not the rankings).
- For this chart, schools are sorted left to right by increasing ranking on this list.
- The green line chart connects the net price points.
- The blue bar chart represents the in-state tuition values.
- The orange bar chart represents the out-of-state tuition values.
- Hover your mouse over a tuition bar or net price point and a tooltip will pop up that shows the institution name and the two cost values – net price and tuition.
- Use your mouse’s scroll wheel to zoom in on a section in the main chart. The sub-chart below the main chart will indicate what section you are viewing.
- Hover your mouse over either of the three labels underneath the sub-chart to visually highlight just the selected chart.
- The chart is built using C3.js JavaScript code library, which in turn relies on the D3.js data visualization library. See http://c3js.org if you want to explore further.
Circular “Circos” Non-Interactive Chart: Multiple Data Points
This chart may appear intimidating at first. However, if you know what the charts/ text in each circular “track” represent, it’s relatively easy to visually compare multiple data points simultaneously – something that’s very difficult to do from a list or even a multi-data point rectangular chart.
