Hi there, I've been looking at Texas State University as one of my options. My GPA is decent but not exemplary and I'm concerned about their requirements. Any current or past applicants who can fill me in on what Texas State's GPA requirements might be?
Hello there! Texas State University generally falls under the category of moderately selective institutions. The average high school GPA of incoming freshmen is around 3.3 on a 4.0 scale. This indicates that largely B+ students are accepted and ultimately attend.
However, keep in mind that the college admissions process is holistic, and the decision won't be solely dependent on your GPA. Admissions officers will also look at your course load and its rigor. If you have a GPA that's a few decimals below the average, but you've taken challenging coursework in your high school career, you may still have a strong chance of being admitted.
You should also ensure that your SAT/ACT scores, essays, and extracurricular activities are also competitive and align well with the core values and strength of Texas State University.
Remember, every college application journey is unique, and there isn't a formula for acceptance or rejection. Good luck with your application process!
