Against the median school
Its entering-class Academic Average of 530 is 90 points above the median of 440 across the 63 schools that publish one.
Its entering-class GPA of 3.84 is 0.14 above the median of 3.70 across the 61 schools that publish one.
This school publishes no out-of-state tuition, so there is nothing to compare.
Medians weight every school equally and leave out schools with no published figure. Many averages are converted from the old 1-30 scale (marked est.), so a gap of a few points is within the error of that conversion.
