About Mesivta Torah

Mesivta Torah Vodaath Rabbinical Seminary is a private nonprofit institution in Brooklyn, New York. Federal data show 76.7% first-year retention and a 28:1 student-faculty ratio.

Strengths and honest considerations

Strengths

  • Cost and outcome metrics on this profile come directly from federal collections, not self-reported marketing sheets.
  • Net price $4,876 reflects what aid recipients actually paid in the most recent federal reporting year.

Considerations

  • This school may not appear on every publisher list we track; an empty rankings table means no tracked publisher ranked it, not missing federal data.
  • Compare $21,250 sticker cost against $4,876 net price before ruling a school in or out on price alone.
  • Publishers we have not loaded yet, or lists that omit this school, show as “not ranked by this source” — that is expected.
