Hey, I'm really interested in applying to Long Beach State University. Can anyone tell me what their current acceptance rate is? And how competitive is it to get in? Thanks!
In recent years, Long Beach State University—also known as California State University, Long Beach (CSULB)—has an acceptance rate of around 40-47%. This makes CSULB a somewhat competitive school to get into, as it admits fewer than half of its applicants.
While the acceptance rate plays a role in understanding the competitiveness of the university, be sure to consider other factors, such as your academic performance and extracurricular activities. Keep in mind that CSULB will be test-blind for this application cycle, meaning they won't consider SAT or ACT scores at all. To improve your chances of admission, focus on maintaining a strong GPA and getting involved in extracurricular activities that showcase your interests and passions.
Good luck with your application to Long Beach State University!
