Hey guys, I've been looking at CSU Sacramento as a potential option. Does anyone have an idea about their acceptance rate? Is it very selective or do they typically accept a good number of applicants? I'm just a little worried about if I have a decent shot at getting accepted. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Around 92% of those who apply to CSU Sacramento are admitted, so you can consider it to be fairly accessible. However, remember that acceptance rates can fluctuate slightly each year based on the number of applicants and the type of applicant pool.
While the acceptance rate is high, making the school less selective, it's important not to take this as automatically meaning acceptance is guaranteed. You'll still need to demonstrate proficiency in your academics and any extracurriculars. All aspects of your application will be considered, so make sure to present yourself as a well-rounded and motivated candidate, with a clear focus on your desired major if possible.
Remember that admission committees will consider a combination of your academic prowess (GPA, high school curriculum rigor, etc.) and non-academic qualities (your personal statement, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities). Stay optimistic and do your best to make your application stand out.
