Reach University
Private College in Oakland, CA.
Admissions
Reach University admits 100% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. Only 199 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 64% 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.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | — | — |
| SAT Math | — | |

No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 80%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 30:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,169 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,014 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($22,997 versus $20,874), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $12,023 on average.
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 | $22,997 |
| $30–48k | $22,461 |
| $48–75k | $21,905 |
| $75–110k | $20,874 |
