Hey everyone, I recently started looking into colleges and I'm considering applying to Long Beach State. Can anyone provide some insight on the average GPA they tend to look for in their applicants?
Hello! California State University, Long Beach (also known as Long Beach State) is a solid choice for many students. As for GPA, they generally seek students who have a strong academic background. According to the CSU Long Beach's most recent admissions data, the average high school GPA of accepted students is around 3.7 on a 4.0 scale.
Keep in mind that this is just an average, and there will be students who are admitted with GPAs higher or lower than this point. Moreover, along with your GPA, they'll consider your coursework rigor, extracurricular activities, and other factors that provide a holistic picture of your overall application. So, it's essential to work on having a strong application in all aspects, not just your GPA. Good luck with your college search!
