At Bethany, we look at each student individually, taking into consideration his or her total application. Applications are evaluated on the following criteria, listed in order of priority:

• Grade point average in college prep classes
• Standardized test score: ACT or SAT I; Bethany does not require the essay portion of the ACT, but does recommend it. Bethany's ACT code is 2086; the SAT code is 6035.
• Class selection
• Overall grade point average
• Class rank
• Motivation
• References
• Recommendations
  

This process allows the admissions committee to evaluate ALL the academic credentials of an applicant without creating benchmark numbers that must be met. Students who would like an indication of their potential acceptance at Bethany are encouraged to contact us.

The application deadline for full-time students at Bethany Lutheran College is July 1 (for fall semester) and December 10 (spring semester). Applications received before these dates will be guaranteed consideration for the upcoming academic term. Applications received after these dates will be considered on an individual basis with no guarantee of consideration.
