Admissions
New York Institute of Technology accepts 81% of applicants, which makes it accessible to most students who meet the baseline requirements. The applicant pool is large — 13,237 in the most recent cycle — so the published rate reflects genuine competition rather than a small-sample quirk. Yield is low at 9%, so most admitted students do not end up enrolling. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 22% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 590–690 | 198 (22%) |
| SAT Math | 600–730 | |
| ACT Composite | 24–32 | 15 (2%) |

Completion is middling: 59% finish inside six years. First-year retention is 78% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. Transfer-out runs to 28% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. The part-time picture is harder: 42% return, against 78% full-time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,320 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $24,688 annually once grants are applied. The income table below is the number that matters — $17,084 at $0–30k versus $30,396 at $110k+. Most students get help: 96% receive grants worth $29,089 on average. 45% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.

| $0–30k | $17,084 |
| $30–48k | $18,312 |
| $48–75k | $22,592 |
