    What the numbers say about UVI

    • The reported middle 50% spans 250 points, from 780 to 1030. A planning score near or above 1070 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The reported section midpoints are 490 Reading and Writing and 440 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 99% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 28% completion rate and $38,681 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
