Admissions
Beth Medrash Meor Yitzchok admits 53% of applicants and is genuinely selective — roughly one in two applicants are turned away. The applicant pool is small at 180, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. A 98% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 21% graduate within six years. Retention is strong at 83%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. With 79% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. A 23:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 222 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,849 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $12,710 at $0–30k against $14,400 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 91% of students get grant aid averaging $9,778, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $12,710 |
| $30–48k | $13,037 |
| $48–75k | $14,729 |
| $75–110k | $15,600 |
| $110k+ | $14,400 |
