Yield rate
69.0%

An acceptance rate of 69% puts Sattler College on the accessible end — a realistic target for a broad range of applicants. With 42 applicants, admissions statistics here move a lot on small changes. 69% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards. Score ranges below describe the middle half of score submitters among enrolled first-years; students who applied test-optional 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.

Student:faculty
2:1

87% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention is 75% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 2:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 58 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 58 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $7,450 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $25,962, 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.
