§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $24k/yr for a shot at a $42k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 70% means this is workable if your grades and essays are solid. Admitted students average SAT 1108 · ACT 23.

If you get in

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

Where you live

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