§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $25k/yr for a shot at a $41k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 62% means this is workable if your grades and essays are solid. Admitted students average SAT 1260.

If you get in

836 undergrads. Tiny. Every professor will know your name.

Where you live

Suburban — a short drive to the nearest city, greener but still connected.
