Admissions
SUNY Morrisville admits 92% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool runs to 5,819, typical for a school of this reach. A 15% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class. The score bands below rest on the 1% of enrolled first-years who submitted an SAT score — a self-selected group, and not a cutoff.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

42% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 57% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 29% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,860 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $15,960 annually once grants are applied. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $11,756 while those at $110k+ pay $23,766. 85% of students get grant aid averaging $9,569, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 72% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $11,756 |
| $30–48k | $14,089 |
| $48–75k | $18,510 |
