I expect that a significant proportion of those not graduating within 6 years at 70%+ acceptance rate schools are due to financial/affordability reasons, as these schools don’t meet full need.

It’s certainly not a perfect predictor, but it’s an at a glance metric that we’ve found valuable while looking at colleges for our kids. Always other factors, especially at large state schools. But it’s a decent metric that I don’t think a lot of people focus on.
