What the numbers say about Cairn

The reported middle 50% spans 160 points, from 1000 to 1160. A planning score near or above 1200 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
The Scorecard snapshot reports a 88% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
Reported outcomes include a 60% completion rate and $44,172 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
