What strengthens an application here

  1. A GPA near 3.29 or higher

    Sustained commitment, a leadership role, or a result in a few activities says more than a long list of memberships.

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

$41k is below the national bachelor's-graduate median at the 10-year mark, and a 38% graduation rate is below the national average.
