Acceptance rate

Applicants

Yield rate
92.9%

Instituto Tecnologico de Puerto Rico-Recinto de Manati admits 93% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. Only 166 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 93% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.

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.

Student:faculty
6:1

Completion is the problem here: 34% graduate within six years. 81% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 6:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a public community college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 297 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $2,897 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $2,535 at $0–30k, $5,601 at $75–110k. 94% of students get grant aid averaging $3,442, 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.
