What the numbers say about Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences
Each finding compares this college's federal figures with other colleges. Your own price and outcome will differ.
- Price against similar colleges
- The average net price of $18,484 a year is $7,018 below the median of $25,502 across 95 private nonprofit colleges in Pennsylvania.
- Price by family income
- Families earning up to $30,000 paid $10,951 a year after grants, and families earning over $110,000 paid $24,246, a difference of $13,295: the lowest-income families paid 45% of the top bracket's price.
- Debt against earnings
- Graduates who borrowed left with a median of $19,500 in federal loans, 23% of the $85,368 median salary of former students ten years after they started. On a standard 10-year plan that is about $222 a month, 3% of a typical monthly salary.
- Graduation against selectivity
- It admits 29% of applicants, and 78% of first-time, full-time students graduate within 150% of normal time. Colleges admitting 25–50% of applicants have a median graduation rate of 66%, so it graduates more students than its selectivity alone would suggest.
