What are Kent State University's GPA requirements?

I have Kent State on my radar and wanted to know what kind of GPA they're looking for in applicants. Can someone tell me the GPA range I should aim for to be competitive? Thanks in advance!

To give you a general idea of the GPA range for Kent State University, the average high school GPA of incoming freshmen is around 3.6 on a 4.0 scale. However, aiming for a higher GPA will help strengthen your application and increase your chances of admission. Students with a GPA of around 3.7 or higher are considered more competitive applicants, but remember that it's not solely your GPA that determines your admission. Extracurricular activities, accomplishments, essays, and other factors are also taken into account by the university.

Additionally, be aware that, while there is no minimum GPA requirement to apply to the university as a whole, some specific programs do indeed have minimum cutoffs. For example, you must have at least a 3.0 to apply for the aerospace engineering program. Although, since there is an official minimum GPA listed, and there isn't for Kent State as a whole, you can safely assume you'll need to aim well above the average GPA for accepted students in general in order to be a competitive applicant to these programs - likely in the 3.8 - 3.9 range.

In summary, while maintaining a good GPA is important, GPA isn't the only factor admissions officers take into account. Just make sure that, if you're applying to a program with a GPA cutoff, you clear that cutoff. Good luck with your college process!
