你可能認為哈佛、劍橋、麻省理工學院是美國各州裡面最難進的大學，但美國知名財經科技新聞網Business Insider的報導可能會讓你吃驚。報導指出，只有8.8%的錄取率(acceptance rate)以及SAT分數要求落在1500-1600之間的加州理工學院(California Institute of Technology)才是美國最難進的大學排名榜首。

 

商業內幕使用學術評論網站Niche.com的一個新名單，找出美國50個州和哥倫比亞特區最難進的大學。

 

該排名是根據報告給美國教育部門的分數。大學錄取率在排名計算中得到了60％的加權平均，SAT / ACT成績的加權平均值為40％。由於阿拉斯加州，特拉華州，內華達州和懷俄明州因沒有足夠的數據，這幾個州未列入排名。
