Yeshiva University sits in New York proper — a private campus woven into the city rather than walled off from it. International students are a visible presence here — 6.8% of undergraduates come from outside the U.S.

Its highest-earning path is Business Administration, Management and Operations, where graduates median $97,914 four years out. Faculty pay averages $163,644 a year here — a rough proxy for what the school spends on the teaching itself. With 2,852 undergraduates and a residential core, weekends happen on campus — and 91.5% of first-years come back for a second year.

Submitters admitted here typically landed between 1320 and 1500 — above the NY middle for four-year schools. Put your own practice estimate on Yeshiva University's range with the SAT calculator, or bring a saved GPA from the grade tools.

Admissions

Scores help here but aren't the gate. If your SAT sits inside the 1320–1500 submitter range, sending it likely helps; below it, Yeshiva University's own policy says you can leave it out.

83.2% of Yeshiva University students finish a bachelor's within six years — 28.3 points above the national 54.9% — and the single best predictor that the $51,800 price above buys a degree, not just enrollment.
