A school helps its students succeed at the subject they came to college to pursue. It creates a culture gear to helping students reach their potential. And it does all that for a price that working families can afford on a charming campus in the middle of an amazing city. Doesn't sound like the definition of an elete school. They're getting out f students who are more likely to be first generation students from lower income families, and who are not as well prepared to pursue a science degree.
