Cabrini University

Admissions

Cabrini University accepts 69% of applicants, which makes it accessible to most students who meet the baseline requirements. 2,467 students applied in the most recent cycle — a mid-sized pool drawn mostly from the surrounding region. Yield is low at 5%, so most admitted students do not end up enrolling. Read the score bands below as the middle 50% of submitted scores, not a threshold to clear.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics

51% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention is weak: only 46% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 1,186 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24

Students pay an average of $24,733 annually once grants are applied. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $18,589 while those at $110k+ pay $28,078. 98% of students get grant aid averaging $24,025, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 68% take federal loans.

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.
