For the second year in a row, Kalamazoo College has been selected as a Hidden Gem by College Raptor, a planning platform that helps students and families find college matches driven by algorithms to find their best-fit schools at the best price.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This selection\u2014which places K among the top 15 institutions in the Great Lakes Region<\/a> of Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana\u2014recognizes the College as one of the best in the country based on a combination of factors including retention rates, graduation rates<\/a>, student-to-faculty ratio, endowment per student, selectivity and other key metrics as reported through the National Center for Education Statistics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor students seeking the enriching experience of a smaller college with exceptional programs, institutions like K emerge as prime options, and we are honored to spotlight them with the recognition they genuinely deserve,\u201d College Raptor co-founder and CEO William Staib said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

College Raptor also ranks K 11th<\/sup> in the country among 25 Hidden Gems for Division III athletics<\/a>. To qualify for either list, an institution must receive fewer than 5,000 applications per year, have fewer than 7,000 undergraduate students, offer at least five unique majors and have an acceptance rate of at least 10%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

College Raptor\u2019s full methodology is outlined on its website<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
