What this information means
Model the complete four-year cost
A lower listed price can still be unaffordable after exchange-rate changes, travel, insurance, and annual increases. Compare the amount your family can sustain for four years.
Aid prevalence is not aid generosity
31.5% receiving aid shows how common an award was in the reported year, while the average award helps estimate scale. Neither figure explains your likely package or the current policy.
Selectivity needs context
The overall rate does not account for international status, aid need, program demand, or the strength of your preparation. Use it only to balance the list, not to label the college a safety.
