§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $31k/yr for a shot at a $48k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 62% means this is workable if your grades and essays are solid. Admitted students average SAT 1206 · ACT 24.

If you get in

1,211 undergrads. Tiny. Every professor will know your name.

Where you live

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