As your high school days are coming to end, there is nothing more serious than the American college application process. We aren’t joking either. The process is long, sometimes expensive, you have to pull together so much information and the essay bit, well golly, you couldn’t make it easy could you. So we did a little research and pulled up the 23 colleges that are the toughest to get into to.
Brown University
Here’s a fun fact, Brown is actually the seventh-oldest institution of higher education in America and it’s also one of the nine Colonial Colleges established before the American Revolution. It’s a world renowned Ivy League research university located in Providence, Rhode Island. Which totally explains why the acceptance rate is only 8.7%. Did we forget to mention that Emma Watson graduated from Brown? Just goes to show you never know who you’ll be in a lecture hall with. Excuse me while I sign up for the student exchange program right now.

Amherst College
Amherst College is a progressive, wonderful school that does not judge someone’s orientation, race, color, religion, whatever. It’s open to all even if it has an acceptance rate of only 13.8%. In fact, it was the first college in America to admit person’s of a different race, the first African American student graduated from there back in 1826.
