UPenn's average admitted student GPA?

I'm planning on applying to UPenn and want to know the average GPA for students who get in. Is my GPA on track, or should I really step up my game?

The average GPA of admitted students at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) tends to be quite high, generally around a 3.9 to 4.1 on an unweighted 4.0 scale. This means that the majority of students admitted to UPenn have mostly A's in challenging courses. However, keep in mind that UPenn practices a holistic admissions process, meaning that they'll consider other factors such as your test scores, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations alongside your GPA.

While GPA plays a significant role in the decision-making process, it's important to focus on other aspects of your application as well. Make sure to engage in meaningful extracurricular activities, write compelling essays, and earn strong recommendation letters. If you find that your GPA is lower than the average admitted student, don't be discouraged—your other qualifications could help you stand out as an applicant.
