What you need to get into Bethany Lutheran College
Aim to land inside or above the middle 50% range. A SAT around 1180 or an ACT around 26 puts you in the top quarter of admitted students and makes Bethany Lutheran College a stronger bet. Below 1040, you are below the typical admit and the rest of your application, essays, rigor, and activities, has to carry more of the decision.
Is Bethany Lutheran College a reach, target, or safety for you?
Run your numbers through the calculator above and it will tell you. As a rule: if your stats sit above Bethany Lutheran College's range and it is not highly selective, it is a safety.
