Private Colleges in West Virginia, Ranked by Acceptance Rate

West Virginia has 5 private colleges in the CollegeCalcAI database. The most selective is Bethany College (WV) at 59%; the most accessible is Davis & Elkins College at 94%, and the median private college in the state admits 63%.

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.
