Berea was not ranked in College Factual's Best Overall Colleges report this year. This may be because not enough data was available.
Even if you have the best grades and high test scores, that may not be enough to get into Berea since the school has one of the most selective in the country. Its acceptance rate is a mere 25%, so there's no shame if you don't get in. Be sure to apply to other schools just in case.
About 8% of students accepted to Berea submitted their SAT scores. When looking at the 25th through the 75th percentile, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing scores ranged between 578 and 673. Math scores were between 558 and 625.
The student to faculty ratio at Berea is an impressive 8 to 1. That's quite good when you compare it to the national average of 15 to 1. This is a good sign that students at the school will have more opportunities for one-on-one interactions with their professors.
Another measure that is often used to estimate how much access students will have to their professors is how many faculty members are full-time. The idea here is that part-time faculty tend to spend less time on campus, so they may not be as available to students as full-timers.
The full-time faculty percentage at Berea College is 81%. This is higher than the national average of 47%.
The freshmen retention rate of 82% tells us that most first-year, full-time students like Berea College enough to come back for another year. This is a fair bit higher than the national average of 68%. That's certainly something to check off in the good column about the school.
The on-time graduation rate for someone pursuing a bachelor's degree is typically four years. This rate at Berea for first-time, full-time students is 50%, which is better than the national average of 33.3%.
