    What the numbers say about York

    • The reported middle 50% spans 170 points, from 790 to 960. A planning score near or above 1000 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 64% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 32% completion rate and $56,945 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
