Those of you who know us know that while we do not promote the use of rankings, we do believe, at times, they can serve a purpose. CBS News has decided to try what we believe is an interesting perspective - giving the reader a 'snapshot' of the hardest colleges to get into based on data (acceptance rates) using 'a picture' of each along with one fact about each lifted from Niche.com, a popular college research site. www.cbsnews.com/pictures/hardest-colleges-to-get-into/2/?ftag=ACQ0534a8f

Each college and university has its own policy on the use of 'outside' scholarship money to pay tuition -- and sometimes room, board, and fees.
