Average SAT scores for CSU schools?

Hi guys, I was curious about the average SAT scores for students who are admitted to CSU schools. I'd like to know where I stand in terms of my chances of getting into one of these universities. Can anyone provide some info or direct me to a source for this information?

Since the California State University (CSU) system is test-blind for the 2024-2025 application cycle, they no longer consider SAT scores in their admissions process. This means that there isn't an "average" SAT score that would be representative of admitted students for the current admissions cycle.

Instead of focusing on test scores, CSU schools prioritize factors such as high school GPA, course rigor, and academic performance, as well as extracurricular involvement and personal characteristics. When evaluating your chances of admission to any of the CSU campuses, it's essential to concentrate on these factors.

However, it's important to note that the 23 CSU campuses vary in selectivity and target different types of students. To improve your chances of admission, consider researching each campus and its specific programs to find the ones that align well with your interests, goals, and strengths.

Keep in mind that you can also use resources like the CollegeVine chancing engine to get a better understanding of your likelihood of admission to various colleges based on your academic profile and extracurricular activities.

To summarize, SAT scores are no longer considered by CSU schools, so focus on other elements of your application like GPA, course rigor, and extracurriculars when evaluating your chances of admission.

Good luck with your application process!
