Florida State University is at the top of my college list. Does anyone have any information regarding the GPA they're looking for? I want to be as competitive as possible when applying.
To be competitive for Florida State University (FSU), you'll want to aim for a strong GPA in your high school coursework. FSU looks at weighted GPAs, so AP, IB, and Honors courses can give you a boost.
The middle 50% GPA range for admitted students in recent years has been around 4.2 - 4.6. It's important to remember that middle 50% means that 25% of admitted students had GPAs above the range and 25% had GPAs below the range.
To maximize your chances of admission, it's a good idea to aim for a weighted GPA towards the upper end of this range. However, keep in mind that GPA is just one part of your application. FSU, like many universities, takes a holistic approach to admissions, so factors such as test scores (if provided), extracurricular activities, and application essays will also be considered.
It's essential to work on building a strong overall application, in addition to maintaining a high GPA. And if you're a little below this middle 50% range, don't panic - just focus on showcasing your strengths in the areas of your application.
Good luck!
