Schools are usually proud of their graduation rates, and publish them. A quick google search of "Graduation rate MIT" returned an answer of 95.6%.

Ivy League Graduation Rates: The average six-year graduation rate across Ivy League schools is approximately 96%.
Public State Colleges Graduation Rates: Nationally, the six-year graduation rate for first-time, full-time undergraduate students at public four-year institutions is about 63%.

Hi Miles - this is an excellent question.
In general, Ivy League (and other schools with low acceptance rates) pride themselves on high graduation rates (90% or higher). They know that it took a lot for their students to be accepted, and they want them to succeed and be enthusiastic alumni. Consequently, these schools offer tutoring services, writing centers, academic advising, mental health resources, mentoring for first-generation students - whatever they can think of to help students complete their requirements.
Also, these schools will devote budget to having enough classes of a popular course so students don't have to enroll for extra semesters in order to take the class. Sometimes, larger state schools will not have the budget for these classes so students will have to wait. This is partly why graduation rates are typically measured within six years, instead of four.
I have put a link below to one measure of graduation rates. I saw rates for MIT varying from 89% to 96%, so look at how each rate is calculated. Good luck!

Hi Miles,
Leading universities usually boast graduation percentages exceeding 90%. For instance, some of the universities with the most impressive graduation rates are:
Princeton University with 98%
Harvard University at 97%
University of Notre Dame with 96%
Yale University at 97%
A high graduation percentage often suggests that the university provides excellent academic programs, has a rigorous selection process, and offers robust support for its students. However, it's important to remember that graduation rates aren't the only factor to think about when selecting a university.
In the year 2023, the overall graduation rate for colleges was 62.2%. As for the 6-year graduation rate for first-time, full-time students at 4-year colleges, it was recorded at 64% in 2020.
