12 four-year colleges in Massachusetts

“Avg. paid” is what students with federal aid paid per year after grants (in-state at public colleges). Test rules and deadlines are the ones we've checked on each college's site. How we get our numbers

Likely: even the low end of our estimate is 60% or more, and the college admits at least 25% of applicants. Target: our estimate is 30% or more. Reach: our estimate is under 30%, or the college admits under 15%. Long shot: our estimate is under 12%, or the college admits under 12%. Estimates use the college's admit rate and score range plus your grades and scores. They are not a promise.
