What the numbers say about RWU

  • The reported middle 50% spans 170 points, from 1140 to 1310. A planning score near or above 1350 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
  • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 88% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
  • Reported outcomes include a 69% completion rate and $70,266 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
