Hi friends! I'm considering applying to California State University, Long Beach next year and I wanted to know what their general acceptance rate is. Does anyone have information about how competitive it is to get in? Trying to gauge my chances. Thanks for helping!
Hi there! California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) is a well-regarded institution with several programs to choose from. As of the most recent data available, the acceptance rate at CSULB is around 47%. That being said, it's essential to understand that acceptance rates can vary by major and over time, so it is not a perfect measure of competitiveness.
To gauge your chances of admission more accurately, I'd recommend comparing your academic profile, like GPA and class rigor, with the average admitted students' profiles at CSULB. You can usually find this information on their admissions website. Keep in mind that CSULB, like all Cal State schools, will focus primarily on your academic achievements when reviewing your application, as they don't require essays, and they follow a test-blind admissions policy.
Best of luck with your application!
