§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $17k/yr for a shot at a $39k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 47% means this is selective — grades, essays, and testing matter. Admitted students average SAT 1130 · ACT 24.

If you get in

2,889 undergrads. Small. You will know your cohort.

Where you live

Town setting — self-contained, social life mostly on campus.
