Admissions
Latin American Bible Institute admits 55% of applicants and is genuinely selective — roughly one in two applicants are turned away. The applicant pool is small at 22, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 92% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
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.

A six-year graduation rate of 33% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. A 8:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 78, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 78 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $10,030 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $8,639 at $0–30k, $10,325 at $48–75k. 40% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 21% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.

| $0–30k | $8,639 |
| $30–48k | $11,125 |
