What's up, guys? So, I'm looking into Cornell College in Iowa, and I couldn't find any specific GPA requirements for admission. Can someone tell me what kind of GPA range they usually look for?
Hey there! While Cornell College doesn't have a strict GPA requirement for admission, you can still gauge what they're looking for based on historical data from admitted students. According to their admissions profile, the middle 50% of admitted students have a GPA ranging from 3.3 to 4.0 (on a 4.0 scale). This means that 25% of admitted students fall below a 3.3 GPA, while another 25% have a GPA higher than 4.0 (due to weighted courses like AP or honors classes).
Keep in mind that Cornell College practices holistic admissions, so other factors such as extracurricular involvement, essays, and recommendation letters are also important components of your application. That being said, having a strong GPA within this range can definitely increase your chances.
It's important to focus on maintaining or improving your GPA, taking challenging courses, and being involved in relevant extracurricular activities that demonstrate your passion and commitment. Good luck!
