Yes. My ACT score of 21+ would have allowed me to be automatically admitted. They are known for their teaching program, so that would have been a good fit too.

The Academic Fit Admission requirements fits for me, with my Gpa 3.93 unweighted and rank 15 out of 236 which means I meet the requirements of being top 50% of my class. University of Mankato has a variety of majors like nursing, accounting and business and creative art which is something I’m also interested in.

Johnny L.

2024-11-19 14:45:26 UTC

My ACT score would have to be 22+ or better to able to allow me to join MSU. And also have a 3.5 or better GPA in school.

Aaron Vue

2024-11-19 14:49:19 UTC

The student body is very diverse, as 97 countries are represented throughout Mankato State University. And I like meeting new people of different races, ethnicity, and culture.

2024-11-19 14:49:34 UTC

I think Mankato State University fits my academic fit because my GPA is a 3.5 and above so I will probably get into the school. And they also have a lot of academic programs.

2024-11-19 14:49:51 UTC

The admission requirement of a GPA 3.5+ and being a class rank of 50 or higher will allow me to join Mankato State University.

Lila Xiong

2024-11-19 14:49:56 UTC

Yes, my gpa and class rank will get me automatically in the college. It also has the major I’m looking for which is nursing so yeah.

Tiffany

2024-11-19 14:50:46 UTC

This was a okay fit for me as I think there was not much clubs that I was interested in looking for in the university. What was really cool was that there was also e sports which is interesting as the students are able to enjoy to play video games during their free time or just to pass down time. The Student Government seems interesting, we didn’t know a lot about it but we went down there and it was great that there was also a movie clubs and a marching band.

Lila Xiong

2024-11-19 14:51:03 UTC

No this is not a good social fit because it’s too far and the dorms don’t allow pets.My pet is my everything so I want to be able to bring him with me.

2024-11-19 14:51:13 UTC

Meeting the requirements, to myself I found my average on GPA of high school to be around 3.4 which is below to be automatically enrolled, but I can work on it to get my GPA a little higher. Soon as SAT and ACT comes up, I would try to meet that score of above 21+. My class rank is 45 out of 236, I think that’s beyond 50% of my class, so I think that’s good.

Ker

2024-11-19 14:51:32 UTC

I would said that the requirement fits my academic fit because my class rank will automatically get me into college.

Andy T.

2024-11-19 14:51:42 UTC

Yes the college social fit is good for me. I said that because they have over 200+ clubs that i can join and they have a diverse cultures that doesnt make me feel left out. They also have a bowling alley and a whole section for games and activities which i like and want to try out. They have many organizations like the LGBTQ organization and the womens organization and couple more. I feel like since more people know that the college has those organizations the college will have a more diverse human body.

2024-11-19 14:51:42 UTC

I wasn’t on the Field Trip 😢😢🖤

Johnny L.

2024-11-19 14:51:53 UTC

The location otherwise is good because i can get away from family. The campus is like confusing because of the tunnels and multiple exits which was very confusing for me. I feel like the club seems boring, but in my opinion.

2024-11-19 14:53:49 UTC

I believe that Mankato State University is a good social fit for me because it is an hour away from Saint Paul, there are variety of dorms based on your interest, many variety of clubs and organizations. The campus environment is nice and welcoming as well because when I was there, they gave out free Dunkin’ Donuts gift cards.

Alyssa L.

2024-11-19 14:53:56 UTC

I would say yes, especially for the admission requirements. My GPA is over a 3 and ranked in the top 50 over 200+ sophomores. They have many majors listed, giving me many opportunities to explore and find a fit for me for jobs.

Andy T.

2024-11-19 14:54:02 UTC

Yes the academic fit is decent. I said that because you need a 3.0 gpa or top 50 class rank in your school to automatically enroll you to the college.

2024-11-19 14:54:17 UTC

Maybe, they have a lot of majors, a top one being psychology, which I am interested in. I also believe that their requirements are obtainable and that their flexibility with them is a very beneficial thing too.

Nardose

2024-11-19 14:54:28 UTC

Yes, because I could automatically get in based of my GPA of 3.5 or higher and can get in to the college.

2024-11-19 14:54:42 UTC

I think that Mankato is a good fit for me when it comes to financials, because they offer North Star Promise that can pay off my tuition after finishing college. And their tuitions is kind of lower compared to other universities.

Aaron Vue

2024-11-19 14:55:02 UTC

Mankato State University is an academic fit for me, as its admission requirements can require you class gpa of 3.5 or above. They would also accept you if your class rank is within the 50% of your class. For me, my gpa fits just right above 3.5 and class rank is within 50% of my class.

Tiffany Chang

2024-11-19 14:55:20 UTC

This is a decent fit for me the North stars Program and FASFA works well for me to apply for financial aid. But for the scholarships offer by the school for unique skills those’d does not fit for me. Also an automatic $800-1000-1200 for the certain gpa requirement is something I really love about the scholarship offer by university of Mankato.

2024-11-19 14:56:42 UTC

Yes, because the distance doesn’t really matter to me, and they have a lot of programs, clubs, pep-fest’s, and other fun activities held around or at the campus.

Johnny L.

2024-11-19 14:56:59 UTC

Tuition is not too bad nor too good because I think im able to maintain that much in a year. If im able to save that much lol.

I hope i can get as many scholarship as i can.

2024-11-19 14:57:04 UTC

Asides from the hour and half drive, equal opportunities for all diversities, and the food? Is good. Well, Mankato is in MN and hour and half drive isn’t too bad than being out of state. The diversities are granted. And the food is great, asides people from taking on the ice cream machine. :/

2024-11-19 14:57:16 UTC

Mankato State University is a best fit for my financial fit because they provide the North Star Promise for students with low-income and the the tuition is low which is beneficial for me to not be in debt.

Yes

2024-11-19 14:57:30 UTC

Yes because, I usually have a gpa of. 3.6 or higher on average, (not right now tho, IM DEVASTATED ✊😞) But I’m also fine in my class rank at 28/236 (I USED TO BE 24 ‼️‼️)

Lila Xiong

2024-11-19 14:58:08 UTC

Yes this is a good financial fit because of the North Star promise scholarship as well as them saying how they will give you money based off your high school gpa.

Meh

2024-11-19 14:58:11 UTC

for me, it doesn’t really matter, as long as it has nice people in it and humans who have human decency then I’ll be fine because I don’t care

Johnny

2024-11-19 14:58:15 UTC

Why the ice cream fake?

Nardose

2024-11-19 14:58:52 UTC

Maybe, because they have a lot of clubs and is diverse but also would like to something more.

Tiffany

2024-11-19 14:59:12 UTC

MSU students what majority of the student on campus ethnic is like?

What would the drop out rate be and success rate?

What are the advantage and disadvantage MSU have compare to other university to makes it stand out more from the rest?

Why are there not other variety of food like some asian food?

Andy T.

2024-11-19 14:59:20 UTC

No this is not a good fit because im mad at the left hand scholarship which sounds really stupid but i understand that left handed people have cons to being left handed and it sorta makes sense. No also because if you want to live at the college you would have to pay an apartment which is probably $5,000+ that depends on which apartment you choose to get. And i would not want to pay for extra things other then college classes.

2024-11-19 14:59:31 UTC

Yes, because they offer things such as North Star and then also Scholarships mostly based on your school merit. The tuition isn’t the worst in the world as well.

Ker

2024-11-19 14:59:44 UTC

I would said that the college fit me because there a variety different type of clubs and the location is good, its not too far where i cant go back home. The school environment looks good and people seen nice.

Andy T.

2024-11-19 15:00:27 UTC

One of my questions is who decided to ad a icecream machine because i should give that person a handshake :)?

2024-11-19 15:00:34 UTC

Mankato offers a lot of scholarships like North Star Promise, FAFSA, and that Left Handed Scholarship if I remembered. Most importantly, the tuition cost is around 9 grand in-state, and with scholarships, that pay would be less. :)

Nardose

2024-11-19 15:01:52 UTC

Maybe, because their scholarships were based of GPA and the scholarships with a 3.7 GPA was around a $700 or $500 and i feel like that is a small amount of money and the North Star can also pay off the money that you need to pay off.

Not sure

2024-11-19 15:02:02 UTC

I’m not too sure in the financial but I’d say based off of what the paper said, it sounds reasonable. The price of tuition and meals, and including that it qualifies for the North Star program so I can apply for scholarships as well.

Ker

2024-11-19 15:02:46 UTC

I would said that the scholarship is good. I like how they offer different type of scholarship.

Aaron

2024-11-19 15:03:20 UTC

I believe I’m in between within the financial fit just because of how expensive it can be living within state. Just for in state tuition is expensive enough with a tuition fee of $28,000+. There are scholarship programs like the North Star program helping out students with finically problems, but I think it would still be a hassle to make up that fee. It’s still a good University to go to, but I think some students won’t have the ability to pay it off.

Alyssa L

2024-11-19 15:04:50 UTC

I’d say maybe, because the location is very far according to how long the bus had to drive and get to the University. But they also have many opportunities and over 200 clubs to explore and be in limitless.

Jue

2024-11-19 15:05:20 UTC

Maybe, because my gpa is only a 3.3 which is almost to the university expectation. But if i do well and improve with the goal(s) I set, there may be a chance of being accepted to the university.

Not sure

2024-11-19 15:07:23 UTC

I would say maybe because I like the tuition of $9,444 and that’s a low a tuition rate. I like the scholarship for the left handed people because I am left handed.

Nardose

2024-11-19 15:08:17 UTC

What makes their college more special compared to other colleges?

What somethings that they want to improve or see in their students in college?

Alyssa L

2024-11-19 15:11:16 UTC

I’d say maybe, because the university offers good scholarship and one of them are North Star which supports paying and stuff.

Maybe?

2024-11-20 00:08:52 UTC

I have a 3.3 gpa i think i can get into MSU. I do like that MSU has medical filed majors, and I don’t think its a good fit for me. Maybe if I change my mind and want to do something in the medical field then I’ll consider it. I do also like that they have a lot of other majors.

Maybe?

2024-11-20 00:15:25 UTC

This campus is a little too far for my comfort. It’s also located in a small town which I don’t prefer. I do like that they have a men’s volleyball club that I could join. When I was there I’ve noticed there were more Asians and White students compared to other races.

Maybe?

2024-11-20 00:20:29 UTC

I do feel like MSU would be more affordable then others, since it’s in Minnesota. I do like that they give out scholarships for different reasons. I like the North Star program because it does help students with their financial issues. Buttttt I’m not left handed so i don’t get the left handed benefits.

Maybe?

2024-11-20 00:22:13 UTC

I wonder what students do when they have free time since the town is pretty small.

Is there more food options?

Maybe

2024-11-20 14:47:21 UTC

yes sounds easy’ier’ enough to get in major selection is good so it’s a solid academic fit but idk if it’s the best cos i want to see the quality of education of whatever stuff im learning

Maybe

2024-11-20 14:48:57 UTC

I could probably get admitted but I don’t know what I want to major in so I can’t say for sure if this school would be the best fit for me yet in academic fit.

Maybe

2024-11-20 14:48:59 UTC

The resources are good enough and idc about distance but I think it’s pretty cool if I was further and it’s a predominantly white school pds I think it’s called so I’d like a diverse school

Sheri

2024-11-20 14:49:07 UTC

I feel like I fit the Academic fit for Mankato because I meet some of their requirement, such as being in top rank and having a 3.0 or higher GPA.

Yes

2024-11-20 14:49:26 UTC

Ya sounds financially good

No

2024-11-20 14:49:44 UTC

Because they don’t really have everything i’m looking for in a college, and for my academics while being in a college. That university just isn’t for me.

Yes

2024-11-20 14:49:50 UTC

i have a GPA of 3.5 so i think the requirements are easy to get in Mankato. There are other options if you don’t get accepted so there’s many opportunity’s to get in.

No

2024-11-20 14:50:19 UTC

Academic wise I would say no just because it doesn’t have any of the majors that I’m going for, other than that admission requirements are reasonable.

Christina Yang

2024-11-20 14:50:20 UTC

No, because they don’t seem to have a lot of nursing programs or classes like; neurobiology anatomy, pre-med, etc.

Yes

2024-11-20 14:50:24 UTC

There are a lot of really cool clubs and organizations that I would be interested in. I also think its cool that they got a gaming area.

No

2024-11-20 14:50:44 UTC

Major wise, as i was looking through the list and they did not have the major i was interested in, architecture.

Yes

2024-11-20 14:51:25 UTC

From what Ben said there should be a lot of scholar ship opportunities for me in I chose to go here.

KP

2024-11-20 14:51:54 UTC

Yes, because is easy to get in, the requirements are 3.3 GPA.

I have a 3.4 gpa so i guess i can get in if I want the requirements are pretty cool

2024-11-20 14:52:49 UTC

Yea

2024-11-20 14:52:58 UTC

The Mankato requirements basically is easy for me to get in because I have a high GPA and I could fit in the other requirements. For Majors? I don’t know since there could be some gaps in what major they offer.

Yes

2024-11-20 14:53:05 UTC

While at i was at Mankato I noticed that there was a lot of supporting clubs, and good positive organizations. I can tell that a lot people felt comfortable going for help or just joining a club.

2024-11-20 14:53:11 UTC

Are there more majors gonna be added or is that it

Maybe

2024-11-20 14:53:21 UTC

I meet most requirements for admission since I have a 3.8 GPA and top 10 in my class and it has majors I’m interested in to but I feel it lacks physics programs I could take but I may consider as a in-state college choice.

2024-11-20 14:53:28 UTC

How diverse are the students there?

Christina Yang

2024-11-20 14:54:31 UTC

Maybe, they seem to be diverse based on the paintings and artifacts that are on the walls. They even have over 100+ clubs. They seem clean and organized because I liked their bathrooms and food. (It was buss buss). But, I hated how we dont recycle and trash the food on our plates after we finished eating ourselves. I didnt see a lot of poc.

maybe

2024-11-20 14:55:06 UTC

Mankato provides a lot of scholarships, i also think its easy to apply for theses scholarship.

Sheri

2024-11-20 14:55:12 UTC

Maybe, because the location is a bit far from home. But they do have a lot of organizations, which is good and I can join as many clubs as I want. There isn’t a lot of diversity at the college.

No

2024-11-20 14:55:37 UTC

This school doesn’t really have the environment I’m looking for, the community just doesn’t really fit the type of community i want while in college. I want to be able to feel safe and not feel judged while being in college but i feel like in that school its just a lot of none fun things there.

Yes

2024-11-20 14:55:42 UTC

They have a lot of clubs, sports, and organizations, I really liked that they literally have everything there. Campus is really nice, dorms are nice as well. I really liked everything about Mankato it is just a bummer that they don’t have the major I’m going for.

No

2024-11-20 14:55:53 UTC

I like that the University is somewhat close to where my family lives although it seems there is a low margin of black people and I would rather go to a school with more of my people but that may change.

Yes

pcomodore002 — 2024-11-20 14:56:06 UTC

Because if this was a school that I want to go to I could make the requirements

Maybe

2024-11-20 14:56:29 UTC

My family can most likely afford going there but just wouldn’t really do it because its not the right fit

Yea

2024-11-20 14:56:31 UTC

There’s a lot of diversity in Mankato. They also offer a lot of clubs and organizations and even if you don’t like any of them, you can just create one yourself.

When I was there I saw a lot of good clubs and aloft of things you could do and the diversity seems pretty good

2024-11-20 14:56:43 UTC

Yes

2024-11-20 14:56:58 UTC

I don’t know enough tuition prices from other colleges to compare if it’s good or not but it seems to offer many easy scholarships which would help me a lot to get into the college.

Yes

pcomodore002 — 2024-11-20 14:57:00 UTC

It’s a good distance that I am away from home but not to far

2024-11-20 14:57:03 UTC

What do students do on their free time?

Yes

jxiong279 — 2024-11-20 14:57:04 UTC

Mankato has many majors and their requirements are fair. When looking at the majors, we found out that they are more skilled in business. Im also interested in business so I think it’ll be a good academic fit for me.

Yes

2024-11-20 14:57:07 UTC

When the tour guides were telling us about the Mankato, I heard that they said you can make your own club and they have a lot of organizations. And room for women’s to go and talk about their stressing and stuff.

What programs does MSU have.

2024-11-20 14:57:57 UTC

Sheri

2024-11-20 14:58:37 UTC

Yes, because there is a lot of scholarship provided and Ben said that there was this scholarship for left hand people, which I think is pretty cool.

Yea, And No.

2024-11-20 14:58:42 UTC

While it is more affordable compared to other colleges and universities, the tuition is still quite expensive for people who does not have much money, but also they can just apply for the North Star Scholarship.

Christina Yang

2024-11-20 14:58:43 UTC

Maybe, because they have everything another universities. For example, the FAFSA (Free Application for Financial Aid), North Star Promise, Academic/Sports Scholarships, Grants, Work-Study, etc.

Maybe

pcomodore002 — 2024-11-20 14:59:08 UTC

The tuition is not to bad that like if you have to pay it it wouldn’t take a lot of years

Yes

2024-11-20 14:59:23 UTC

There seems to be a lot of opportunities for scholarships at Mantako, so I think I wouldn't have a problem paying for it with personal money and grants.

Maybe

2024-11-20 14:59:49 UTC

I don’t have a job to save up for college right now and in my family only my brother work so is a maybe.

I think the tuition is alright and the fasfa is good and all the scholar ships r really good but I don’t think its a good fit for me

2024-11-20 14:59:50 UTC

How do the classes work/ look like

pcomodore002 — 2024-11-20 14:59:57 UTC

Christina Yang

2024-11-20 15:00:11 UTC

Do MSU Students really pay $7K - $10 to live off and on campus for their dorms?

Yes

jxiong279 — 2024-11-20 15:00:13 UTC

When being toured around Mankato, they had many clubs and were organized with where they had different majors like where the science classes were in a specific area in the building.

Yes

2024-11-20 15:00:21 UTC

I fit academically since I have a 3.9 GPA.

( Uma )

What are some of the benefits by going to Mankato compared to other colleges and universities?

2024-11-20 15:00:40 UTC

Yes

2024-11-20 15:10:38 UTC

I liked the way the school looked clean and put too getter and it was somewhat diversity and it got very good opportunities

Yes

jxiong279 — 2024-11-20 15:10:41 UTC

I think they are good on scholarships because they have many that are provided and for those that struggle with financial they could sign up for the North Star Promise scholarship.

Yes

jxiong279 — 2024-11-20 15:12:18 UTC

How much would studying abroad cost?

Yes

2024-11-20 15:12:35 UTC

Everything is good and they have a lot of opportunities regarding that

Yes

2024-11-20 15:26:54 UTC

For Mankato, the location fits for me because it’s about an hour away from home, they have lots of social clubs and organizations for students that I’m interested in.

( Uma )

Yes

2024-11-20 15:30:20 UTC

This school’s tuition seems decent, added with the scholarship, I believe it’s a reasonable price for housing and other things. Also, this school offer the majors I’m interested in, adding to this the school has good scholarships that I may fit into, like the North Star scholarship.

( Uma )

Are the ACT and SAT scores determining your admission into the school?

2024-11-20 15:31:54 UTC

( Uma )

Yes

2024-11-21 23:03:19 UTC

Mankato Standards are very much reasonable and very acquireable to my belief.

No

2024-11-21 23:07:51 UTC

Mankatois really far from home and very much remote to the community im used but I do like the community centers and the events that do at Mankato just the only issue is the location.

Yes

2024-11-21 23:17:05 UTC

The Scholarship offered at Mankato are very promising and The fact they support the North Star Promise housing cost and entrance fee are very affordable.

Community

2024-11-21 23:20:53 UTC

I want to ask about the community, if the classes are big or small and what Major is mainly study there or what is the diversity of Mankato.

dkubota001 — 2024-12-04 05:00:15 UTC

No (since they don’t have the major I want)

I checked the admission requirements, and they seem manageable, with a 3.0 GPA or decent test scores and something I am able to achieve. But they don’t offer architecture, which is what I’m really interested in.

dkubota001 — 2024-12-04 05:02:18 UTC

Maybe (since I like the campus but am unsure about the distance)

The campus looked clean and organized, and I liked the diversity that were represented. There seem to be a lot of clubs to join, too. But for the location I’m unsure about being two hours away from home.

dkubota001 — 2024-12-04 05:03:51 UTC

Yes (affordable tuition, good financial aid, and FALSA for lower-income families)

Tuition seems pretty affordable, and there are a lot of scholarships and financial aid opportunities. I really like the FALSA for lower-income families, which makes it even more accessible.

dkubota001 — 2024-12-04 05:05:47 UTC

Any partnerships for studying architecture?
How does on campus living work for students far from home?

Yes

2024-12-04 15:04:46 UTC

Because they have Engineering and I would like to study that

No because I wanna be more farther from home in a warmer area and I don’t like there sports programs like what division there in

2024-12-04 15:05:33 UTC

Yes

2024-12-04 15:07:48 UTC

Affordable and I pay it off in a year or less

2024-12-04 15:09:08 UTC

Do they look at ACT or SAT scores or do they only look at gpa?

Memphis

2024-12-05 19:15:22 UTC

How is the tuition compared to other schools in the area?
