Hey guys, does anyone know what's the average GPA of admitted students at CSU Long Beach? I'm wondering if my GPA is competitive enough.
At CSU Long Beach, the average GPA of admitted students tends to be around 3.7. This number can vary slightly from year to year depending on the applicant pool. Given that CSU Long Beach, like many other colleges, reviews applications holistically, a GPA below the average does not automatically disqualify you, but it is more challenging to get admitted.
Remember, your GPA is just one part of your application. Other components like extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and coursework rigor are crucial as well. So, if you have a strong commitment to a few extracurricular activities or have advanced coursework, this can offset a slightly lower GPA.
Remember that as of the 2024-2025 application cycle, all CSU schools are test-blind, which means they do not consider SAT or ACT scores. Good luck with your application!
