I'm looking at transferring to Bryn Mawr College and am trying to figure out what GPA I should aim for. Does anyone know what a competitive GPA might be for transfer students?
Bryn Mawr College doesn't explicitly state a minimum required GPA for transfer applicants. However, like with most colleges, having a strong GPA can increase your chances of being accepted. Looking at their general admissions statistics, most admitted students to Bryn Mawr have a GPA of 3.6 or higher. That should give you some idea as to what Bryn Mawr considers an strong academic profile.
Keep in mind that they also consider other factors beyond just your GPA, such as the strength of your academic coursework, extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, and your personal essays. So, even if your GPA is not as high as you'd like it to be, you can still strengthen your overall application in many other ways.
It's always a good idea to reach out to the admissions office at Bryn Mawr directly to get more specific information tailored to your situation. They could provide more detailed insights into what they specifically look for in transfer applicants.
