What the numbers say about Hampton University

The reported middle 50% spans 300 points, from 790 to 1090. A planning score near or above 1130 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
The Scorecard snapshot reports a 62% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
Reported outcomes include a 57% completion rate and $59,159 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
