Idaho Colleges with low acceptance rates

Colleges with the Lowest Acceptance Rate in Idaho for 2025

These are the most selective public and private four-year colleges in Idaho. The list is ranked by acceptance rate, lowest to highest and limited to schools which reject at least half of all applicants. Leading the list is The College of Idaho which sent acceptance letters to only 47% of the 4,553 students who applied and rejected 53%.

Not all schools on the most selective list are overly academically challenging. Some schools with less rigorous test and high school GPA requirements may receive a large numbers of qualified applicants and the school does not have space to admit them all.
