Average GPA for Pitt

Hi! I'm trying to gauge my chances for getting into Pitt. Does anyone know what the average GPA is for admitted students?

The University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) doesn't officially publish the average GPA of its admitted students. However, they do state that the middle 50% of admitted students typically have a high school GPA of 3.83.

This means that you'll likely need around that figure to be competitive, especially for more popular programs. However, remember that GPA alone won't guarantee your acceptance, as Pitt, like many colleges, engages in a holistic review of your application. They'll consider factors like your course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays in addition to your academic performance.

If your GPA is lower, it will be even more important to perform well in these other areas. For instance, strong extracurricular involvement, particularly if it falls under the Tier 1 or Tier 2 category of the 4 Tiers of Extracurriculars, could compensate for a slightly lower GPA. Happy to provide more information if needed!
