§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $22k/yr for a shot at a $45k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 64% means this is workable if your grades and essays are solid. Admitted students average SAT 1220 · ACT 27.

If you get in

2,245 undergrads. Small. You will know your cohort.

Where you live

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