Hi peeps, trying to figure out how tough it is to get into CSU San Diego. Does anyone know something about their acceptance rate or the profile of the average accepted student?
Hey there! Unfortunately, I think there may be some mix up with the name. There isn't a "CSU San Diego." You might be referring to San Diego State University (SDSU), which is part of the California State University (CSU) system.
If we're talking about San Diego State University, in recent years, it has been quite competitive. For the 2023-2024 academic year, for instance, SDSU had an acceptance rate of about 34%. The average high school GPA of admitted students tends to be around 3.85, showing that this is a school expecting above-average academic performance.
It's also worth noting that the CSU system, including schools like SDSU, is test-blind for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means they won't consider SAT or ACT scores when reviewing applications, so your high school grades, coursework rigor, and any supplementary materials (like your personal statement) could carry more weight in the admissions decision.
Furthermore, I would encourage you to glance through their website or directly reach out to the admission's department for the most recent figures or any additional information you might need. Good luck with your application!
