    Hi London, when you apply to Michigan State you will submit a personal statement. This is what we use to get a big picture of your story and see what makes you stand out.

What is the minimum GPA you must have to be considered to be accepted into MSU?
  • 9176
    Hi Mark, we don't have a minimum GPA since your application is reviewed with a holistic approach, meaning the types of classes and extracurricular activities are factored into the decision. The average student that was admitted for this fall had a GPA between 24-28. Hope that helps!
