## What is the acceptance rate at Baker College?

81.9%

Source: College Scorecard · Fall 2024 admissions. Acceptance rates can change from year to year; this figure does not predict the current or next admission cycle.

How to interpret the acceptance rate

Baker College’s admission rate points to an admissions outcome above the comparable-institution midpoint. The university admitted 81.9% of applicants in the reported entering class.

That rate is above the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size). Applicants should set their application list after comparing the published score range with their own academic record.

## What SAT and ACT scores do Baker College students report?

Baker College’s submitted-score profile is a reference point for comparing academic preparation, not an admissions threshold. Applicants should compare their SAT score with Baker College’s own 960 through 1,160 range, which covers the middle half of scores submitted by enrolled students.

The lower end marks the quarter of submitters below that point, and the upper end marks the quarter above it. Because the figures describe enrolled score submitters, they do not describe every enrolled student and do not set a minimum for admission.

Use the range alongside grades, course choices, and the rest of the application.

The ranges below describe enrolled students who submitted test scores at Baker College. Use them as academic context, then check the university’s current testing policy for your application cycle.

About these student measures

The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.

Baker College has an undergraduate mix that includes Pell Grant recipients and many people arriving through transfer routes. 37.7% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants.

Undergraduate enrollment is 3,026, and an estimated 69.7% enter as transfers or part-time students. These figures describe the people who attend, rather than admission priorities or any applicant’s chance of admission.

The mix of Pell recipients and transfer entrants points to more than one route into undergraduate study.

At Baker College, the available persistence measures point to lower continuation and completion than at comparable institutions. The [six-year graduation rate](/analysis/what-the-graduation-rate-doesnt-count/) for the first-time full-time cohort is 35.8%, below the comparable-institution median of 68.8%.

Full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year students return at a rate of 66.1%, also below the peer median of 83.4%. For Pell recipients in that cohort, six-year completion is 18.9% and falls below the overall rate by 16.9 percentage points.

Enrolled students can expect published retention and completion rates that sit below comparable-institution middle values. The retention and graduation figures both point in the same direction, with Pell completion lower still.
