Admissions
Dr. Ida Rolf Institute admits 100% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. Only 1 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. Yield is high — 100% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.
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.

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit short-program school, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 44, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 44 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $35,373 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $38,347 at $0–30k, $35,373 at $30–48k. About 52% get grants averaging $8,129, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 48% of students.
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.
