Hey all! I'm looking into applying to Grand Valley State University and I'm wondering what's a competitive GPA to get in. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks a bunch!
Hey there! A competitive GPA for Grand Valley State University typically falls within the range of 3.3 to 3.7 on a weighted 4.0 scale. According to their freshman class profile, the average high school GPA for incoming students is about 3.5. While GPA is an important factor in the admissions process, keep in mind that GVSU also considers other aspects of your application such as extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, and personal essays.
That said, having a GPA within the range mentioned earlier should make you a strong candidate for admission, though it's not the only factor that can influence the outcome. It's always a good idea to focus on presenting a well-rounded application including strong test scores (if you choose to submit them), engaging extracurricular activities, and compelling writing. Best of luck on your application!
