New College of Florida named a 2022 “Hidden Gem” by College Raptor

New College of Florida has been selected as a 2022 Hidden Gem in a recent announcement by College Raptor, a leading college planning platform that helps families discover college matches driven by AI algorithms to find the best colleges at the best price.

New College was selected for:

● US Hidden Gems
● Hidden Gems in the Southeast

This selection recognizes New College as one of the best colleges in the country, based on a combination of factors, including retention rates, graduation rates, student-to-faculty ratio, endowment per student, selectivity, and other key metrics as reported via the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) for the most recently available enrollment year.

“Finding hidden gem schools for students is core to how we help families discover great college choices. We take pride in making it easy for students to make those connections through our Hidden Gems Rankings lists by highlighting excellent schools like New College,” said Bill Staib, CEO of College Raptor.

The best treasures are worth looking for, and may even be hidden right beneath your nose. That’s true for colleges as well. The best college for you might be one you haven’t heard about yet! College Raptor is dedicated to showing students and families a wide array of college options. That’s why we wanted to highlight schools that deserve more attention. We call them Hidden Gems.

For this list, we’ve found the top Hidden Gem school in each state — including DC!

To qualify as a Hidden Gem, a school must meet the following requirements:

  • Receive fewer than 5,000 applications per year
  • Have fewer than 7,000 undergraduate students
  • Offer 5 or more unique majors
  • Have a 10% acceptance rate or higher
