Hey guys, I'm looking into applying to Binghamton University in NY and I was wondering what their GPA requirements are? I want to get a sense of whether my GPA is competitive for admission at that school, so any insight is appreciated!
Hey there! Binghamton University doesn't have a strict minimum GPA requirement; however, it's helpful to know the average GPA of admitted students to gauge your competitiveness. Typically, the middle 50% of admitted students at Binghamton have a high school GPA between 3.7 and 3.9 (unweighted). This means that 25% of admitted students have a GPA below 3.7, and 25% have a GPA above 3.9.
If your GPA falls within or above this range, you're likely to be competitive, although keep in mind that college admissions consider multiple factors. Course rigor, extracurricular activities, test scores (if submitted), essays, and recommendation letters play a role in the holistic review process. So even if your GPA is slightly below the average range, you can bolster your application with strong performances in other areas.
Remember, GPA is only one piece of the puzzle. Good luck with your application to Binghamton University!
