Updated September 07, 2017 Bethel University Admissions Profile: Bethel is not a highly selective college--around 95% of those who apply are selected; students with good test scores and grades have a pretty decent chance of getting in. Bethel does require students to submit SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission to the school. As part of the online application, applicants need to complete a "personal statement of faith" and affirm their religious beliefs. Students must also submit high school transcripts, and, in some cases, letters of recommendation from a counselor or teacher. Bethel University's website has all of this information, and interested students are encouraged to check out the site, and to ask the admissions office any questions if they have them.
