How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Mcphs University admits about 85.2% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,160 and 1,416, and ACT scores typically fall between 26 and 30. Among enrolled undergraduates, 30.1% receive Pell Grants and 30.5% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is limited, at 36.4%. As a health-focused private institution in Boston, Mcphs University serves a student body with meaningful economic and educational diversity despite selective admissions. Azimuth ranks Mcphs University #814 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the institution's admission selectivity: at a 85.2% admit rate, the enrollment funnel is moderately narrow, and the number of low-income and first-generation students served is limited relative to institutions that admit larger shares of their applicant pools. The six-year graduation rate is 62.0%, and the Pell completion rate is 70.4%. Freshman retention stands at 74.0%, indicating strong student persistence through the early college years. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $110,900 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure not yet updated to the four-year horizon, placing Mcphs University in the 99.5 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks Mcphs University #398 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern reflects Mcphs University's health-sciences focus: low-income students who gain admission complete at solid rates and enter careers in nursing, pharmacy, and allied health fields that offer stable earnings and strong labor-market demand. The combination of selective admissions and strong outcomes for low-income graduates positions the institution as a pathway to economic mobility within the health professions, though the admission scale limits how many students benefit from that advantage.
