Admissions Overview
Bethel College accepts 97% of applicants, making it an open admission school. Nearly everyone who applies gets in, so your main concern should be whether this is the right fit rather than meeting admission standards. The middle 50% of students score between 860-1090 on the SAT, with an average of 975. Your test scores matter less here than demonstrating genuine interest in the school's mission. Bethel seeks students drawn to its Mennonite values of peace, service, and community engagement. The college wants applicants who value close relationships with professors and classmates in a small-town Kansas setting where social justice and faith intersect.
