Hey y'all, I'm looking into HBCUs, and Texas Southern University caught my eye. I'd love to go to an HBCU in Texas, but I'm a little nervous about my GPA. Does anyone know what kind of GPA TSU typically looks for in applicants? Any insight about their admissions process or vibe on campus would be awesome!
Hey there! Texas Southern University is known for being welcoming to a diverse array of students. While TSU does not have a published minimum GPA requirement for admission, they do consider a student's entire academic profile during their holistic review process. A GPA around 2.5 or higher can generally be considered competitive, but I've seen students with a variety of GPAs get accepted. It's also important to highlight your extracurriculars, personal statement, and letters of recommendation. The campus vibe at TSU is vibrant, with a lot of emphasis on community and cultural history. If you get a chance, I highly recommend visiting the campus to get a feel for it yourself. It can also be helpful to reach out to the admissions office if you have specific questions or if you're seeking any personalized guidance. They're often more than happy to help prospective students. Best of luck with your application, and remember to show them what makes you unique and why you're a great fit for TSU!
