Recommendations

Send an introductory email to both programs (tailor for positional needs). Include Hudl highlight link and academic snapshot.
Request unofficial roster context on returning CMs and any incoming transfers.
Schedule a campus tour or virtual info session; compare major-specific resources (Business/Kinesiology vs. Business/Data Science).

Legend & methodology

Admit rate & academic midpoint use publicly available admissions ranges for a directional view — not an admissions decision.

Roster depth & positional need are based on recent rosters, graduating seniors, and public notes. Positional needs change; always verify with staff.

Estimated net cost is an illustrative band informed by public tuition/aid data. Use each school’s Net Price Calculator for your family’s numbers.
