Hey everyone, I'm a high school junior looking into Western Michigan University. Does anybody know what the GPA requirements are for admissions? I want to make sure I'm on track! Thanks in advance!
Hey there! While Western Michigan University (WMU) has a holistic admissions process, they do also have an assured admissions program, which has a minimum GPA of 3.0 (as well as a few other requirements). However, it's helpful to know what the average admitted student's profile looks like to understand your chances better.
The average high school GPA for incoming freshman at WMU is around 3.53 on a 4.0 scale. It's important to remember that this is just an average, so students with GPAs higher or lower than that could still be admitted based on other factors in their application, such as extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters.
To increase your chances of admission, aim for a GPA that's at least 3.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale). Keep in mind that WMU will also look at the rigor of your coursework, so taking AP or honors courses and maintaining a solid GPA can further improve your chances.
Stay focused on maintaining or improving your academic performance and engage in meaningful extracurricular activities to strengthen your application. Good luck!
