3. Virginia Military Institute
Overall score: 38
Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia doesn’t have that high acceptance rate of 47.3%. However, you won’t need that high SAT scores, and everything between 1,540 and 1,850 practically guarantees the spot. Of course, you might need GPA between 3.28 and 3.52 as well, or ACT composite score between 22 and 27. The only downside of VMI is 90 to 10 male/female ratio. Oh, and it ranks 131st according to Forbes.
