Public Universities in Idaho, Ranked by Acceptance Rate

Idaho has 4 public universities in the CollegeCalcAI database. The most selective is University of Idaho at 76%; the most accessible is Idaho State University at 97%, and the median public university in the state admits 88%. None posts an admitted-student SAT (75th percentile) above 1300, which puts the emphasis on grades and coursework. In-state tuition usually makes these the best-value options on a Idaho student's list, so it pays to know exactly where each one sits.
