Hello everyone! I'm seriously considering applying to Syracuse University, but I'm unsure of the GPA expectations. Can anyone tell me the GPA range that Syracuse generally looks for in their applicants? Thank you so much!
Hello! Syracuse University is a great choice, and I'm glad you're considering it. For your GPA, it's helpful to remember that Syracuse has a holistic admissions process, so GPA is just one part of your overall application. However, knowing the general range can be helpful.
Syracuse University's average high school GPA for accepted students tends to be around 3.8 on a 4.0 scale. Keep in mind that this is an average, so some admitted students have GPAs above that, while others have GPAs below. Generally, a GPA of 3.6 or above (unweighted) should make you competitive, but remember that your other components, like extracurriculars, essays, and recommendations, will also make a difference.
Aiming for a strong, well-rounded academic profile will increase your chances of admission. It's also beneficial to take a rigorous course load, including AP or IB classes, to showcase your academic capabilities. Best of luck with your application!
