Hey everyone! I've been looking into Florida Atlantic University as a possible college option. Does anyone know what their GPA requirements are or at least what they tend to look for in terms of academic performance? Appreciate any guidance!
Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is moderately selective when it comes to GPA requirements. While they don't have an explicit minimum GPA for admission, they do look at applicants' academic performance holistically. This means they consider factors like course rigor, class rank, and overall improvement in addition to GPA.
However, to give you a general idea, the high school GPA middle 50% range of 3.68 - 4.29 . This means that 50% of the admitted students had a GPA within this range, whereas the remaining 50% fell either below or above it.
Keep in mind that there are students who get accepted with lower GPAs. Having a strong GPA is important, but it's also crucial to demonstrate engagement in extracurricular activities, submit solid test scores (if applicable), and write compelling essays, as the university will consider your application within the context of your overall profile.
I hope that helps! Good luck with your college search and application process!
