§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $15k/yr for a shot at a $53k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 90% means this is workable if your grades and essays are solid.

If you get in

64,674 undergrads. Big. You will have to make it feel small yourself.

Where you live

City campus — public transit, off-campus food, weekends happen nearby.
