admit rate

$11,688

in-state tuition/yr · $44,908 out-of-state

SAT 25–75 · ACT 27–33

The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $19,857/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

GPA: Top 10% class rank (UT Austin caps at top 5%)

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 220 in 2018 to 225 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+2.3%

Why only 3 data points?

Private school enrollment comes from the NCES Private School Universe Survey (PSS), which is collected every other year — not annually like public-school data. The most recent published collection is 2021–22; NCES targeted spring 2026 for the 2023–24 release — we'll load it as soon as it's published.

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of +0.6%/year, projecting from 2022's 225 students:

2023

226

2025

229

2027

231

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 6 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $96,000/year in tuition upside.

Tuition is an editable estimate (PSS doesn't publish tuition) — set it to your school's figure.
