California State University, Bakersfield seems like a good fit for me, but I'm a little worried about getting admission. Does anyone know about the acceptance rate at CSUB?
The acceptance rate at California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) varies by year, but as of recent data, it is quite favorable at around 85%. This means that eight out of every ten students who apply are accepted. However, keep in mind that your individual chances of acceptance depend on the strength of your application.
CSUB, like all California State University campuses, does not require an essay or personal statement in the application process, and they're test-blind for the 2024-2025 application cycle, meaning they will not consider SAT or ACT scores at all. Admission is primarily based on your high school coursework and GPA. Having a strong GPA and rigorous coursework can improve your chances, so focus on your academic performance. I hope this eases your worries and encourages you to apply!
