Hey everyone, I'd like to apply to the University of Wisconsin at Madison but I'm not certain about their GPA requirements. Can someone please let me know what's the minimum GPA they usually expect, or the average GPA of accepted students? Thanks!
Hello! The University of Wisconsin-Madison does not have an official minimum GPA requirement for applicants. However, it's helpful to be aware of the average GPAs and the general profile of accepted students so you can gauge your competitiveness.
For the students who were admitted to UW Madison, their average high school GPA is around 3.82 (unweighted) on a 4.0 scale. This indicates a strong academic performance in high school, as the admissions committee typically looks for applicants who have taken challenging courses and excelled academically. Keep in mind that this is just an average, so some students will have higher GPAs and some will have lower.
It's important to note that UW Madison does consider other factors in their admissions process, such as extracurricular activities, essay responses, and recommendation letters. So, if your GPA is lower than the average, a strong overall application can still make you a competitive candidate.
Good luck with your application!
