6. University of Mary Hardin-Baylor

7.  UMHB has just under
3,000 students on a
campus located in
Belton Texas. Only
about an hour away
from Austin.
 46% of students
graduate within 6
years, and 64%

8.  Tuition and fees at
UMHB total around
$24,000, while the
average financial aid
package is $14,000.
 Only about 62% of
financial aid was met
for students who
received some sort of
aid.

9.  For 73 consecutive years the University of
Mary Hardin–Baylor has produced an
outdoor reproduction of the Holy
Week. Each year the pageant takes place
on the Wednesday afternoon
before Easter and is performed on campus
in front of Luther Memorial. The Easter
Pageant is fully produced by the students
of UMHB themselves, including
directing, costumes and performances and
draws nearly 5,000 viewers each year.
 In the Spring of 1995, students requested a
ceremony to create closer emotional ties to
the university. Subsequently, a “Dubbing
Ceremony” became part of Welcome Week.
Each Fall new students are “dubbed” with a
ceremonial sword by the university
administration as “Crusaders Forever.”
Prior to the ceremony, students light
candles and sing the Alma Mater.
Immediately following the ceremony the
sophomores ring the sophomore bell the
number of years the university has been in
existence.

10. Baltimore, MD

11.  Johns Hopkins enrolls
just over 5,000 students
on a medium size
campus located in
uptown Baltimore.
 Hopkins has a 92%
graduation rate within
six years, and has some
of the best continuing
education for medicine
in the country.

12.  Total cost of attendance
for Johns Hopkins would
be around $60,000 per
year. As you can no
doubt guess, nearly all
students do not pay that
entire cost.
 Johns Hopkins is a need
blind school although it
is not classified as such
normally. This is due to
the schools large
international population
which is not need blind.

13.  Eighteen Johns Hopkins
laureates have won the Nobel
Prize in Physiology or
Medicine, more than any other
category.
 The opportunity to participate in
important research is one of the
distinguishing characteristics of
Hopkins' undergraduate
education. About 80 percent of
undergraduates perform
independent research, often
alongside top researchers.
 The school has a large Greek life
scene, however it is largely
based on academic performance
for admission rather than how
Greek life operates traditionally.
