Admissions Information
At Colorado State, candidates for admission are considered based on their academic record, extracurricular activities and individual potential. While the applicant's test scores and class rank are important, the admissions committee also gives similar weight to personal qualities and abilities, as showcased in the applicant's personal statement.
Despite a generous admittance rate, entering freshmen have a competitive high school GPA around 3.5. However, students who have a GPA below 3.25 are still encouraged to apply, as many different characteristics are included in the holistic admissions process, such as individual ability to contribute to the diverse campus. Colorado State University's branch campus in Pueblo requires a separate application for admission.
