Hey there! I'm dreaming of going to Stanford and I'd like to know the average unweighted GPA for the admitted students. Can anyone help me out with this info? Thanks a lot!
Sure, I'm happy to help! Stanford doesn't publish an average unweighted GPA for admitted students. However, it's important to know that the majority of admitted students have very strong academic profiles. Data from Stanford's admission site indicates that around 85-90% of accepted students have an unweighted GPA of 4.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).
Keep in mind that while your GPA is an essential part of your academic standing, it isn't the only factor affecting admission. Stanford evaluates applicants holistically, which means they'll also consider your coursework, test scores (if submitted), extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations.
To maximize your chances, push yourself academically by taking challenging courses and continue striving for high grades, in addition to enriching your extracurricular involvement and showcasing your unique talents. Good luck!
