Telshe Yeshiva-Chicago
Private College in Chicago, IL.
Admissions
Telshe Yeshiva-Chicago admits 100% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool is small at 24, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 100% 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 |

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 0% graduate within six years. Retention is strong at 89%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The 100% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 78 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,548 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $6,555 at $30–48k, $7,600 at $110k+. 90% of students get grant aid averaging $12,862, 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.

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 | — |
| $30–48k | $6,555 |
| $48–75k | $7,984 |
| $75–110k | $7,163 |
| $110k+ | $7,600 |
