Hi all! I'm applying to California State University, Sacramento (Sac State) and I'm curious about the average GPA for admitted students. Just trying to see where I stand. Thanks for your help!
Hi! California State University, Sacramento, or Sac State, is known to be moderately selective in its admissions process. While the statistical averages may vary slightly from year to year, generally, the average high school GPA of admitted students at Sac State falls around 3.4 on a 4.0 sclae. This can give you an idea of where you would stand among other applicants.
However, it's important to remember that your GPA is just one factor considered during the admissions process. For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Sac State remains test-blind, which means they won't consider SAT or ACT scores in the admissions process. Focus on presenting a strong application that highlights your extracurricular activities, leadership experiences, and any other unique aspects of your profile.
If your GPA falls within the mentioned range or even if it's slightly lower, it's still worth applying as each applicant is evaluated holistically and admissions criteria may vary depending on the applicant pool. Good luck with your application!
