Hey, fellow college aspirants! I was wondering how NYU calculates your GPA during the admissions process. Do they consider weighted or unweighted GPAs? Any insight would be appreciated!
Hello! When it comes to GPA calculations in the admissions process, NYU, like many other universities, will recalculate your GPA based on their own standards. They generally consider both weighted and unweighted GPAs but focus more on the context of your high school and its grading system, as well as the rigor of the classes you've taken. They want to see how you've challenged yourself academically and how you compare to your high school peers.
In addition, NYU has a holistic admissions review process, so they'll be considering more than just your GPA. Your extracurricular activities, essays, letters of recommendation, and other factors will also play a role in determining your fit for the university. Make sure to have a well-rounded application, showcasing your academic strengths, interests, and achievements. Good luck with your application!
