    What the numbers say about SAU

    • The reported middle 50% spans 230 points, from 1010 to 1240. A planning score near or above 1280 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 52% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 64% completion rate and $51,732 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
