Boston University
Among Boston University’s alumni are 8 Nobel Laureates, 23 Pulitzer Prize winners, 10 Rhodes Scholars, 6 Marshall Scholars, 48 Sloan Fellows, 9 Academy Award winners, and some Emmy and Tony Award winners. When they tell you that they only accept 29% of applicants, you can understand why.
Haverford College
Non doctior, sed meliore doctrina imbutus, which means, “Not more learned, but steeped in a higher learning.” Haverford believes in giving their students the best education they can, even if it means that students determine their own exam dates, as an example. The university adopted a “code of honor” which empowers students to do things that most other universities wouldn’t dream of allowing. Exams that students can take home is also common at Haverford College. Seems fun, but their 21% acceptance rate isn’t really.
