Saint Joseph's Univesity?

These are all very basic facts that you can get from their website, www.sju.edu. In particular, look at a href="http://www.sju.edu/about/facts.html" rel="nofollow"http://www.sju.edu/about/facts.html/a for some of the facts. A few of these things you could also find on www.collegeboard.com, such as the average admissions statistics (you won't find "requirements" anywhere, as it doesn't work that way. You probably won't find out about waitlist information either, as that is not usually known from one year to the next, and most schools don't want to give out information about it. Also, you won't find out much about financial aid, since those things are not decided until after you have been accepted. What they might be able to tell you are things like how many of their students are "full pay" (don't get any financial aid) and what their discount rate is (that is the amount of financial aid that they pay out across the board - so that if they have a 20% discount rate, it means that they will subsidize 20% of their tuition costs, and collect 80% of the tuition from students. Of course, that includes some who get full scholarships, and some who get nothing, but it can be useful to help compare schools to one another in terms of how much aid they are willing to give out).
