Washington University of St. Louis
The private Washington University of St. Louis proudly hosts a vast range of subjects. It was founded in 1853 and named after the very great George Washington. 25 Nobel laureates graduated from this school of law, social work and public health. 17% acceptance rate is their lucky number.
Rice University
The huge 295-acre estate is not the only grand aspect of this prestigious university. It also happens to be the most difficult university to get into in Texas. Rice University has produced many top scholars and many of them have been significant contributors to NASA projects. If this sounds interesting to you, just hope to be a part of the 16% the university takes in.
