Yeshivat Hechal Shemuel
Private College in Brooklyn, NY. Six-year graduation rate 50%.
Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 100% of applicants are accepted. Only 2 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | — | — |
| SAT Math | — | |

Academics
50% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 31:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 65 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $15,125 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $5,800 at $0–30k, $5,800 at $48–75k. Grant aid is widespread — 92% of students receive it, averaging $10,278.
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 | $5,800 |
| $30–48k | $13,174 |
| $48–75k | $5,800 |
