How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Meredith College admits 74.2% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,098 and 1,348, and ACT scores typically fall between 23 and 29. Among enrolled undergraduates, 35.9% receive Pell Grants and 22.0% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment accounts for 15.0% of the student body. Azimuth ranks Meredith College #961 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The institution enrolls a meaningful share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students on a residential campus that emphasizes close faculty-student relationships and peer mentorship. The six-year graduation rate is 70.1%, with 56.7% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. Retention of first-year students stands at 79.4%. Azimuth ranks Meredith College #1010 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates earn a median of $39,000 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 31.9 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The mobility ranking reflects Meredith College's consistent delivery of outcomes for students from modest-income backgrounds: a substantial Pell share combined with solid earnings and completion rates means that low-income students who enroll are likely to graduate and move into stable financial footing. Azimuth's analysis of access versus outcomes explores how institutions balance enrollment scale with graduate success — Meredith College's positioning shows that meaningful mobility gains are achievable at smaller, residential institutions that prioritize support for first-generation and low-income students.
