Hello everyone! I'm interested in Texas State, and I'm wondering if there's a minimum GPA requirement for admission. Anyone have any insights on this? Thanks!
Hello! While Texas State University does not have a specific minimum GPA requirement for admission, they do consider your academic performance as an important factor in their holistic review process. Texas State admits students based on class rank, test scores (for applicants who choose to submit them), and a review of your high school coursework.
The university has an Assured Admission policy for Texas residents. To qualify for Assured Admission, students must meet the following criteria:
- Rank in the top 10% of their high school class.
-OR-
- Rank in the top 25% of their high school class and have a minimum SAT score of 1090 (if submitted) or a minimum 22 composite ACT score (if submitted).
For applicants who do not qualify for automatic admission, Texas State has a holistic review process. This process takes into account your high school coursework, class rank, SAT or ACT scores (if submitted), essay, extracurricular activities, and any other factors that support your application. Therefore, while there isn't a minimum GPA requirement, it's essential to have a competitive academic record to improve your chances of admission.
It's worth noting that different colleges within Texas State may have more specific admission standards based on the program or major you're applying to, so you should check the requirements for your intended major as well.
Good luck with your college application process!
