- What is the acceptance rate at Franklin W Olin College of Engineering?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Franklin W Olin College of Engineering is approximately 25%.

- How much does Franklin W Olin College of Engineering actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Franklin W Olin College of Engineering is approximately $25,171 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $7,058 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $46,317. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Franklin W Olin College of Engineering?
- Franklin W Olin College of Engineering reports a graduation rate of approximately 96%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Franklin W Olin College of Engineering have?
- Students who borrowed at Franklin W Olin College of Engineering left with a median of approximately $19,500 in federal loans, and about 25% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Franklin W Olin College of Engineering earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $129,455 for students who received federal financial aid at Franklin W Olin College of Engineering. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Franklin W Olin College of Engineering?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Franklin W Olin College of Engineering.
