We report the composite midpoint (the middle of the admitted range), not a fabricated 25th–75th band or a school-reported average. For the full reported range and ACT equivalents, see Bethel University's published Common Data Set.
What score do you actually need?
There is no hard cutoff. The midpoint (~975) is a reference point, not a promise: landing near or above it makes you competitive on the numbers; landing below it means the rest of your application — rigor, grades, essays — needs to do more work. Because Bethel University is moderately selective (60.2% admit rate), strong scores help but never guarantee admission on their own.
Test-optional?
Test-optional policies change year to year, so check Bethel University's official admissions site for the policy that applies to your cycle. Our odds tool handles test-optional applicants either way: if you don't submit scores, we estimate from the rest of your profile rather than penalizing a missing number.
