Hi there, hope all is well. I am considering applying to Texas Southern University and I'm a bit worried about my GPA. I can't seem to find any concrete information about their GPA requirements. Has anyone here had any experiences applying to TSU? Any information would be appreciated!
Hello! While Texas Southern University (TSU) doesn't have a specific GPA cutoff in its admissions process, it does take GPA into account. It's important to note that the higher your GPA, the stronger your chances of admission are. For reference, the average high school GPA of TSU's freshman class tends to hover around a 2.8. However, don't let this discourage you if your GPA is a bit lower, as TSU reviews applications holistically, taking into account factors like your course rigor, extracurricular activities, and potentially your test scores.
Remember, GPA is just one part of your application. Including strong essays and solid recommendation letters can add to your candidacy. If your GPA is a concern, you might consider using your personal statement to explain any factors that impacted your academic performance. Good luck with your application!
