What the numbers say about SUNO

The reported middle 50% spans 230 points, from 820 to 1050. A planning score near or above 1090 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
The Scorecard snapshot reports a 79% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
Reported outcomes include a 13% completion rate and $34,042 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
