Idaho State Uni Acceptance Rate

Hi all! Does anyone know what the current acceptance rate of Idaho State University is? And if you know, what kind of student do they generally admit?

Idaho State University, a public institution in Pocatello, Idaho, has an acceptance rate of nearly 100% - usually over 99%. While this school is accessible to just about any student, you still want to put your best foot forward in your application, to maximize your chances of being competitive for particular programs or scholarships that could be more selective than the institution as a whole.

In terms of the type of student they admit, the average accepted student has a GPA of around 3.4, which indicates you'll want to have mostly B-range grades on your transcript, potentially even with a few A's as well.

As for standardized test scores, Idaho State University is test-optional, so students can choose whether or not to submit SAT or ACT scores. However, for those who do choose to submit their scores, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students is usually around 910-1160, and the ACT score range is approximately 19-25. Do note that test scores are required to be considered for scholarships at Idaho State.

In addition to these academic factors, colleges typically appreciate applicants with a history of involvement in meaningful extracurricular activities. You don't have to be a state champion athlete or the president of several clubs, but taking an active role in your community and pursuing your passions outside of the classroom can indicate a well-rounded student who's ready to contribute to their college community in a range of ways.

Please bear in mind that while all these statistics offer a general idea of the admittance profile, everyone's application is unique and these averages are not requirements. Being slightly below a particular benchmark doesn't mean you won't get in - Idaho State's acceptance rate indicates that they are committed to serving a wide range of students. Good luck!
