I'm super interested in applying to St. John's University, but I'm not sure where I stand in terms of GPA. What GPA do you think they're looking for in applicants? Anyone who has been accepted, please let me know your experience!
St. John's University is moderately selective, with an acceptance rate around 73% (according to recent data). While there isn't a strict GPA requirement, the average high school GPA of incoming freshmen tends to be around 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. Keep in mind that the admissions process involves various factors, and GPA is just one part of the puzzle.
Even if your GPA is slightly below this average, you still have a chance of getting accepted if other aspects of your application, like test scores (if applicable), extracurricular activities, and essays, demonstrate your potential as a successful student. On the other hand, if your GPA is higher than the average, that could give you an advantage in the admissions process.
Ultimately, the best way to gauge your chances of being admitted is to research the academic profile of accepted students at St. John's University and compare your own credentials, keeping in mind that a well-rounded and compelling application will give you the best chance of acceptance. Good luck with your application!
