Admissions
71% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. 7,110 applications came in, enough to make the rates below reasonably stable year to year. A 10% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 5% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 498–663 | 24 (5%) |
| SAT Math | 488–573 | |
| ACT Composite | 18–25 | 9 (2%) |

63% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 64% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. 35% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.

Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
