What's the average transfer GPA to Boston College?

I'm considering transferring to Boston College and was wondering about the average transfer GPA needed. How competitive is the process?

Boston College is indeed a competitive institution, and that extends to its transfer admissions process as well. While the university does not explicitly state the average GPA of its admitted transfer students, they do emphasize the importance of a strong academic record.

For context, the middle 50% of admitted first-year students generally have a high school GPA ranging between 3.6 and 4.0 (weighted), and you can assume a similar expectation would apply to transfer students' college GPAs. Again, these are rough estimates, as colleges typically review transfer applications holistically, including but not limited to: GPA, difficulty of your current college's coursework, recommendation letters, your reason for wanting to transfer, and involvement in extracurricular activities.

Lastly, remember that these are just general guidelines. Each applicant and situation is unique, and these elements are considered in the context of your entire application. It's always a good idea to reach out to the Boston College Transfer Admissions Office directly for the most accurate and updated information or any personalized advice.
