About This School
St. John's University-New York is a private nonprofit institution located in Queens, New York with approximately 9,477 undergraduate students enrolled. St. John's University-New York has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 83%. The average net price after financial aid is $29,999 per year. The graduation rate is 66%, and the typical graduate earns $62,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a median salary of $62,400 after 10 years is decent, and a relatively low median debt of $19,500 at graduation keeps the financial risk manageable, but a 68% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 3 students who start here don't finish — worth asking why. Worth considering if you're drawn to its Queens location, Catholic Vincentian mission, or strong programs in pharmacy, law, or business, and you have a clear plan to stay on track. The 80% acceptance rate makes it accessible, but come in with a strategy, not just a backup.
