Randolph College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 94%. The average net price after financial aid is $15,921 per year.

Randolph College is a private liberal arts and sciences college in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States. Founded in 1891 as Randolph-Macon Woman's College, it was renamed on July 1, 2007, when it became coeducational. The college's intercollegiate athletic teams compete in NCAA Division III as a member of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC). The college fields varsity teams in six men's and eight women's sports.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the net price of ~$18,400/year and relatively low debt at graduation ($17,455) make this one of the more affordable private liberal arts options, but a 51% graduation rate and 68% freshman retention rate signal that a significant number of students leave before finishing — worth asking the admissions office about directly. If you thrive in a tight-knit, small community (just 520 undergrads) and want a traditional liberal arts experience in a low-pressure admissions environment, this could be a good fit. Just go in with a clear plan, since median earnings of $41,500 a decade out means this school rewards students who are intentional about career development from day one.
