About This School
Telshe Yeshiva-Chicago is a private nonprofit institution located in Chicago, Illinois with approximately 78 undergraduate students enrolled. Telshe Yeshiva-Chicago has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $6,182 per year. The graduation rate is 8%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $6,182/year after aid, this small yeshiva is remarkably affordable, and the 88% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll are generally satisfied with the experience. However, the 8% graduation rate is a serious red flag that demands an explanation before committing — it likely reflects the unique nature of this religious institution, where many students transfer credits or pursue ordination through non-traditional paths, but you should ask directly what completion looks like for students with your specific goals. Worth considering only if you're seeking intensive Torah study in a structured religious environment and have clarity on how this fits your long-term path.
