Colorado School of Mines is fairly selective (11K applicants for 1400 slots). DU (University of Denver) is a bit less selective.

Both are private schools.

Colorado College is way more selective than either.

And maybe the Air Force Academy is the hardest to get in to? Although that's neither state nor private.

Yeah, USAFA is the most selective one but I doubt the governor would have purview over a service academy
Colorado School of Mines is public.
Mines is public and has a 53% accept rate. That’s hardly selective in the grand scheme of things.
