Admissions

Acceptance rate

Applicants
71
Yield rate
85.5%

Bellin College admits 97% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. Only 71 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. Yield is high — 86% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Student:faculty
10:1

63% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 95% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 366 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay $37,954 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $29,994 at the $0–30k band to $41,021 at $110k+. 99% of students get grant aid averaging $9,537, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 63% take federal loans.

Entering first-year students

A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income

The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
