Admissions
Bushnell University accepts 67% of applicants, which makes it accessible to most students who meet the baseline requirements. The applicant pool is small at 871, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is low at 19%, so most admitted students do not end up enrolling. 5% of enrolled first-years submitted an ACT score. The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.
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.

| SAT Math | — | |
| ACT Composite | 18–20 | 5 (5%) |

56% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 76% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. 30% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 533 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,907 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,924 at $0–30k, $23,361 at $110k+. Most students get help: 87% receive grants worth $21,228 on average. 61% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $17,924 |
| $30–48k | $21,033 |
| $48–75k | $12,656 |
| $75–110k | $22,084 |
| $110k+ | $23,361 |
