Big 12 Schools Ranked by Acceptance Rate

The 16 Big 12 universities in the CollegeCalcAI database, ranked by undergraduate acceptance rate. Athletic conferences are not academic tiers, and the spread proves it: the list runs from University of Central Florida (40%) to University of Kansas (93%), with a median of 80%. 13 are public, so residency changes the real odds at most of them.
