Mesivta Torah
Vodaath Rabbinical Seminary
Private College in Brooklyn, NY. Six-year graduation rate 50%.
Admissions
80% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. The applicant pool is small at 40, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 78% 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.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|

Academics
Completion is middling: 50% finish inside six years. First-year retention is 77% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. With 33% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. The 33:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 337 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $7,174 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($3,385 versus $5,076), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 98% of students receive it, averaging $17,559.
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 | $3,385 |
| $30–48k | $6,460 |
| $48–75k | $6,664 |
| $75–110k | $5,076 |
