This Standard is the Most Important to Gain Entrance to SCSU

Colleges and Universities have stepped up their aggressiveness in pursuing students over the past few years.  St. Cloud State University President Dr. Robbyn Wacker says many schools are dealing with reduced enrollment but this hasn't caused them to lower their standards.  Wacker says High School grade point average (GPA) is a stronger indicator of potential college success than the ACT or SAT tests.  She says if a student has a High School GPA close to their standard she encourages them to apply.  Wacker says they have programs and help that student gain entrance to the University.  She says they would provide the wrap-a-round services needed to make these students successful.
