What kind of GPA do students who get accepted into Villanova typically have? I'd love to get a ballpark figure so I can set some targets and see if I'm in a competitive range. Thanks in advance.
Villanova University is a competitive institution, and accepted students typically have strong GPAs. The middle 50% of admitted students usually have a high school GPA ranging from around 4.0 to 4.5 (weighted). Keep in mind that these are approximate figures, as GPAs can vary across different high schools and systems.
While a strong GPA is essential for being competitive in the application process, it's also crucial to consider other factors, such as extracurricular activities and test scores (if submitting), as Villanova follows a holistic review process. If your GPA is slightly lower than the stated range, a standout application in other areas can also improve your chances of admission. Aim to excel academically, take a challenging course load, and work on developing your extracurricular profile to make your overall application even stronger.
