Admissions Chances

Yeshiva University, which accepts just over half of applicants, has a competitive admissions pool. The majority of admitted students have above average grades and standardized test scores. However, Yeshiva also has a holistic admissions process and admissions decisions are based on much more than numbers. A strong application essay can strengthen your application, as can participation in meaningful extracurricular activities and a rigorous course schedule. Yeshiva also requires that all applicants participate in an interview. The college is looking for students who will contribute to the campus community in meaningful ways, not just students who show promise in the classroom. Students with particularly compelling stories or achievements can still receive serious consideration even if their grades and scores are outside of Yeshiva's average range.

In the graph above, the green and blue dots represent students who were accepted to Yeshiva. Most had SAT scores (ERW+M) of 1200 or higher, ACT composite scores of 24 or higher, and high school GPAs of a "B+" or better.
