Admissions
Yeshiva Derech Chaim admits 88% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool is small at 34, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. A 53% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.

Academics
A 80% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 75% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. Transfer-out runs to 16% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. At 8:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 119 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $13,471 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($9,100 versus $13,700), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 92% of students get grant aid averaging $11,193, 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $9,100 |
| $30–48k | $9,200 |
| $48–75k | $14,179 |
