New student admissions are opened in three pathways including SNMPTN, SBMPTN, and Seleksi Mandiri. In order to improve the SNMPTN selection system at IPB, a study was conducted on the quality of SMA/MA which registered to IPB through school clustering. In general, cluster analysis cannot handle large and mixed-type data, so this school clustering used the Two-Step Cluster method with two alternatives, namely without handling outliers and handling 5 percent outliers. Both of these alternatives produced an average Silhouette coefficient value of 0.2 and 0.3 respectively, which was still under the good category. However, clustering without handling outliers resulted in more detailed cluster criteria with 4 optimal clusters. The criteria for these four clusters include, Cluster 1 is a category of Low Commitment, Low Quality, and Low Consistency schools, Cluster 2 and 3 are categories of schools that have special criteria in certain categories, and Cluster 4 is a category of High Commitment, High Quality, and High Consistency.
