Use the numbers without letting them make the whole decision
Admission ranges describe a group of students, not a personal acceptance probability. Check the year and whether a figure describes admitted or enrolled students. Then compare the actual degree route and the family’s housing plan.
Bright Futures can change the tuition calculation substantially. It does not make housing, meals and transportation disappear. Our comparisons label the credit basis behind cost estimates so a smaller course load is not mistaken for a cheaper university.
