Central Yeshiva
Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitz
Private College in Brooklyn, NY. Six-year graduation rate 5%. Median 10-year earnings $35,023.
Ten-year median earnings of $35,023 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate is 5% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ! Graduation rate 5% — below national average
Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 87% of applicants are accepted. With 191 applicants, admissions statistics here move a lot on small changes. 98% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
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.

Completion is the problem here: 5% graduate within six years. 79% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in five are gone before sophomore year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 15% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. At 31:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 810 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,632 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($20,648 versus $24,662), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 88% of students receive it, averaging $7,752.
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 | $20,648 |
| $30–48k | $21,223 |
| $48–75k | $21,604 |
| $75–110k | $23,027 |
| $110k+ | $24,662 |
