Private Colleges in Nebraska, Ranked by Acceptance Rate

Nebraska has 8 private colleges in the CollegeCalcAI database. The most selective is College of Saint Mary (NE) at 45%; the most accessible is Doane University at 98%, and the median private college in the state admits 69%. None admits fewer than 30% of applicants, so a strong profile is competitive across the whole list. 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.
