The most selective is Johns Hopkins University at 6%; the most accessible is Stevenson University at 79%, and the median private college in the state admits 68%. 1 school admits 30% of applicants or fewer. Private colleges set their own aid policies, so the sticker price on this list says little about what a family actually pays; the acceptance rate says a lot about where to apply.
