Private Colleges in Virginia, Ranked by Acceptance Rate

Virginia has 14 private colleges in the CollegeCalcAI database. The most selective is Washington and Lee University at 14%; the most accessible is Liberty University at 99%, and the median private college in the state admits 78%. 2 schools admit 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.

Which of the Private Colleges in Virginia can I get into with a 3.7 GPA and a 1300 SAT?

By CollegeCalcAI's model, a student with a 3.7 unweighted GPA and a 1300 SAT has a Likely or Safety estimate (45% or higher) at 12 of the 14 colleges here, including Regent University, Averett University and Bluefield University. 1 more is a Target (25 to 44%), such as University of Richmond. The other 1 is a Reach. Estimates assume Regular Decision and no hook; courses, activities and essays move them.
