Public Universities in Kansas, Ranked by Acceptance Rate

Kansas has 8 public universities in the CollegeCalcAI database. The most selective is Washburn University at 75%; the most accessible is Emporia State University at 98%, and the median public university in the state admits 90%. 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 Kansas student's list, so it pays to know exactly where each one sits.
