Compare alternatives to UH

The comparison groups for University of Houston cover higher reported admission rates, similar admissions profiles, higher reported earnings at similar cost, lower reported cost with similar earnings and options in the same state or region. Choose the question that matters to you, then compare the schools within that group.

Each decision angle has its own candidate list and ordering. A school may appear in more than one group, and a first-place match in one group should not be ranked against a first-place match in another.

Related institutional profiles are a separate comparison. Use the source notes to check the measures and reporting periods behind each list.

Similar admissions profiles

This group compares colleges with admission rates within 10 percentage points of University of Houston’s. Where comparable test-score data are available, the matching rules also limit the score difference.

Those reported school-level profiles are not application cutoffs or evidence that the same applicant would receive the same decision.

Higher admission rates

This group looks for colleges with a reported admission rate at least 10 percentage points above University of Houston’s and four-year earnings within 15% of University of Houston’s figure. It offers another starting point for an application list; a higher school-wide admission rate does not establish your chance of admission.

Lower cost with similar earnings

This group looks for a reported net price at least 15% below University of Houston’s, with four-year earnings within 15% of University of Houston’s figure. It can help identify schools worth comparing on cost, but the school-wide net price is not an aid offer or a matched price for your income band.

Matching method and source notes

Related-profile colleges come from a separate comparison. The source requires the same institution type, a bounded enrollment range and a nearby composite score, then orders the matches using composite score, four-year earnings, enrollment and region.

Program-mix flags describe the returned comparison; they are not additional terms in this list’s ordering formula.
