Accessible admissions with broad enrollment. Here is what would make your application as competitive as possible.

Things that would move your odds the most

  1. Aim for an SAT of 878+
    Hitting the 25th percentile puts you in the competitive range for admitted students.
  2. Maintain a GPA of 3.59 or higher
    Admitted students typically present grades at or above this level.
  3. Build a single deep extracurricular peak
    Depth beats breadth at selective schools — one nationally-visible accomplishment outperforms ten clubs.
  4. Strengthen one teacher recommendation
    A specific, personal letter from a teacher who knows your work moves the needle.

Your chances estimate is based on your academic profile and activities — it is a guide, not a guarantee of admission. Decisions weigh essays, recommendations, and fit factors that aren't in the data.

after aid
  • These numbers reflect who enrolls, not the value the school adds. A college's earnings can look high simply because it admits wealthier, higher-scoring students — not because of what happens there.
  • Earnings vary far more by major and career path than by school. A school-wide median blends engineers and artists into one number that may match no real student.
  • Federal earnings and debt figures cover only students who received federal aid, so they leave out full-pay students and can skew the picture.
  • Net price is an average across aided students and debt is the median for borrowers only — many students borrow nothing. Your actual cost depends on your own aid package.

What this means

$37k is below the national bachelor's-graduate median at the 10-year mark, and a 76% graduation rate is above the national average.
