Hi everyone, I'm considering applying to North Carolina State University (NCSU) and I'm curious about the GPA requirements for admissions. Does anyone have any info on their average admitted student's GPA or the minimum GPA required? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! North Carolina State University (NCSU) doesn't have a strict minimum GPA requirement; however, it's important to know that they review applications holistically, considering various factors such as your grades, test scores (if submitted), extracurricular activities, essays, and more.
That said, having a competitive GPA will improve your chances of being admitted. According to NCSU's admissions data from 2020, the average high school GPA of admitted students was approximately 3.83 unweighted and 4.28 weighted. Keep in mind that this is an average, and there are students admitted with GPAs both above and below this range.
To increase your chances of admission, it's important to maintain strong grades, particularly in your core academic classes. Additionally, focusing on your extracurricular activities, essays, and other components of your application will help you present a well-rounded profile to the admissions committee.
Best of luck with your application to NCSU!
