SDSU admission competitiveness?

Hi everyone! I've been looking into San Diego State University and I'm curious about how competitive it is to get in. Can anyone give some insight on their experience with applying or attending SDSU?

Hi there! San Diego State University is a public university in California, and its admission competitiveness can be gauged by looking at some key factors. Over the past few years, its acceptance rate has been around 34%, making it a moderately selective school.

For some context, the average high school GPA of admitted students usually hovers around the 3.7 to 4.0 range. While SDSU is test-blind and does not review standardized test scores for California residents, out-of-state applicants might want to consider submitting their SAT or ACT scores if they can strengthen their application.

When applying to SDSU, they will be particularly interested in your academic performance (GPA, course rigor, class rank if available) and your extracurricular accomplishments. Like any other university, SDSU is interested in your passion and commitment to your activities outside the classroom. Having a strong mix of extracurriculars, such as community service, clubs, sports, or other achievements can help your application stand out.

As with any college application, the key is to present your best self, showcasing your interests, passions, and commitments. While SDSU is moderately selective, it's important to remember that the application process can be unpredictable. It's a good idea to apply to a range of schools, keeping in mind safety, target, and reach options.
