Makes sense. I'm a woman with a BS degree already from a highly-ranked college, still considering applying to this school, however, because:

I don't have the upfront money to pay tuition for other private schools. Total cost of a college degrees to job is ~$100K which is way higher. I don't want to spend 4 more years and accumulate a ton of loans. Colleges also don't share the risk with me of getting a job. This makes me think this school has much more incentive to educate me well. My undergrad college took my tuition whether I got a great job out of it or not (which I didn't :P). The school is new though so I'm a bit weary of not seeing a track record. I'm going to do more careful research now before applying.
