A parent's read

  • The major moves the money more than the admit letter. Health Services grads from here earn about $135,742 four years out; marketing grads about $37,424 — a 3.6× spread on the same diploma. Have the major conversation before you deposit, not after.
  • The 5× payoff headline requires aid. Without aid this runs ~$40,500/yr. There's no income cutoff for need-based aid — whether you qualify depends on the gap between a school's price and your family's finances, so at a price like this even six-figure incomes often show need. Families who receive aid average ~$29,627/yr — against that, ten years of median earnings run ~5× the cost. Run the college's own net-price calculator before anchoring on the multiple.
  • Ask the submit question deliberately. This college is test-optional — but at many such colleges, applicants who submit strong scores are admitted at meaningfully higher rates. “Optional” is a strategy decision, not a pass.

Parent/student verdict

Moderately selective

Solid match for academically prepared students.

Best for

  • Strong academic profiles — admitted students cluster in the top test and GPA tiers (bands above)
  • Students drawn to Health Professions or Psychology (the two biggest majors)

The reality

  • You'd be near the bottom of their admitted class if: SAT below 1275, or ACT below 28, or unweighted GPA below ~3.80 (test bands are the school's own; the GPA floor is our estimate, not a published figure)

Verdict is composed from this college's structured data (admit rate, SAT bands, net price with aid and at full price, Carnegie classification, scholarship grids) using transparent rule thresholds — not a chat-bot's opinion.

Source: College Scorecard (average net price among Title IV first-time, full-time undergraduates who received aid) and each college's published cost of attendance. We don't show the federal net-price-by-income brackets: their categories were fixed in 2008 and never adjusted, and none of the averages is your family's own number — the full story. Payoff = (10-yr median earnings × 10) − (4 years of cost), in dollars — how far ahead a typical graduate runs by year ten; medians travel with the students a college admits and the majors they choose as much as with the college itself. Full price is the published cost of attendance; earnings are 10 years after enrollment, all majors combined.
