What students say PRO
From students' own posts on Reddit and admissions forums: self-reported, unverified, never used in your odds.
- Admits who named a round split about 10 Early Action to 7 Regular Decision, so applying early was common among them.
- Most posted admits aim at CS, engineering, math or science, often backed by robotics, cybersecurity, competitions or STEM clubs.
- Many admits had strong numbers, with SAT around 1500-1590 or ACT 32-35 and GPAs of 3.8 to 4.0 or higher.
- Many admits had research or paid technical work, like astrophysics, a lab assistantship, a security research paper or a university research job.
- Several admits led debate, Model UN or policy work, such as a congressional internship or state advocacy board.
- Students report automatic merit scholarships tied to GPA, with 3.7 or higher reportedly earning at least $12K a year, often on a grid on the school website.
- Students report rolling admissions ended, and late applicants missed expected merit awards and waited a long time for aid offers.
- Students report a holistic review that weighs context, and some admits got in with scores or grades under the usual range.
- Students report high costs for out-of-state and international admits, with loans near $100K for four years and cost of attendance around $56-60K.
