§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $39k/yr for a shot at a $38k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 44% means this is selective — grades, essays, and testing matter. Admitted students average SAT 1090 · ACT 23.

If you get in

2,844 undergrads. Small. You will know your cohort.

Where you live

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