From the US Department of Education College Scorecard (data year 2024). Scorecard doesn't publish admitted GPAs or English-test minimums, so those show as not available. The SAT range adds the Reading and Math percentiles, which only approximates the total-score range.

College Scorecard, data year 2024. Earnings follow students who started several years earlier, so they describe an older group than the other figures. Net price is the average cost after grants for students who received US federal aid; international students usually can't get that aid, so plan with the full tuition above (that's what your budget is compared with).
19.2% of its 40,475 research papers from 2020–2023 are among the 10% most cited in their field worldwide, a higher share than 100% of the 2,831 universities in the ranking. It measures research, not teaching. A field shows “not available” when the university has fewer than 100 papers in it.

Research activity is the Carnegie Classification as reported by College Scorecard. Co-op / internship programs are only filled in from the school's own page; “not available” means we haven't found a clear statement, not that there isn't one. Graduate earnings (above) are shown for information only and don't affect the work-experience focus.

A proxy based on published figures, not a rating of how fun the place is. Coverage is uneven: US schools have official figures for setting, size, housing and varsity sport; outside the US most social figures aren't published, and clubs and design teams are hand-checked for only a few schools. Nothing official covers parties, Greek life or festivals, so those aren't shown.
