Hi everyone! I'm starting to research California State Universities, and I'm a bit confused about their SAT requirements. Can anyone provide some insight or direct me to a reliable source to help me understand their expectations for standardized tests scores?
4 months agoAs of the 2024-2025 application cycle, the entire California State University (CSU) system is test-blind, which means they do not consider SAT or ACT scores at all in their admissions process. This includes schools like CSU Fullerton, San Diego State, San Francisco State, and San Jose State, among others.
Instead, the CSUs will focus on other aspects of your application, including your high school GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, personal statements, and any additional information you provide in your application.
In light of this policy, you should prioritize maintaining a strong GPA, taking challenging courses, staying involved in extracurriculars, and creating compelling personal statements to showcase your potential and motivation for attending a CSU. This holistic approach will help the admissions committee gain a better understanding of your academic and personal strengths.
For more information on the California State University system admission requirements, you can visit the CSU admissions website or individual campus websites. Good luck with your applications!
