Colleges where most degrees awarded are bachelor's, ranked by years of earnings gain needed to repay the cost to finish at this income. Cost to finish = net price after grants × the average years graduates took (IPEDS). Earnings gain = former students' median earnings 10 years after starting (College Scorecard) minus $34,633 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in New York (Census ACS 2020-2024). Before taxes, interest and earnings given up while in school. Method

Common Data Set in New York

The Common Data Set is the standard form colleges fill out each year about admissions, the entering class and financial aid. It shows what a college weighs when deciding, its early decision and waitlist numbers, and how much aid it gives students with and without need. What it is and how to use it.

We have checked 40 New York colleges so far, starting with the largest (most recently on Oct 11, 2026). 8 are on our pages; 19 more have posted one we are adding. We are still confirming 10 more. 3 have no current Common Data Set on their website, or send it only on request.
