Hi everyone! I'm a junior and I've been looking into the University of Rhode Island (URI) and I'm just wondering what the average GPA is for students that get accepted. Anyone have any ideas?
The average GPA for admitted students at the University of Rhode Island (URI) typically falls between 3.2 - 4.1. Do be aware that URI recalculates your GPA, to only factor in core academic classes in grades 9-11, and with extra weight given to honors or AP classes, so the GPA URI admission officers consider may be slightly different from the one your high school reports. But this range should still give you a general idea of where you should aim.
However, it's important to note that URI, like many universities, follows a holistic review process and takes several factors into account when evaluating applicants, such as your extracurriculars and test scores (if submitted).
If your GPA falls within the range mentioned above, you'll be competitive for URI, but keep working on the other elements of your application to provide admissions officers with a comprehensive view of your strengths as a candidate. Good luck with your college process!
