Outcomes
College Scorecard. Earnings are measured ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike — not ten years after graduation.
On mobility, 2.5% of students move from the bottom fifth of the income distribution to the top. Worth pairing with access: 7.6% of students here come from the bottom fifth of the income distribution. Over a 40-year horizon, Georgetown CEW estimates a net present value of $918,000 (1,591 of 4,419 ranked).
Economic mobility (Opportunity Insights)
Opportunity Insights, students born 1980–1991 — a track record, not a forecast for today's entering class. The mobility rate is a share of all students (bottom-quintile origin and top-quintile outcome); the success rate is the share of bottom-quintile students alone who reach the top. They answer different questions and the second is always the larger number.
