Hey, I've been really stressing out over the past few weeks about my GPA - will it be good enough for Boston College? Can somebody let me know what their usual GPA acceptance range is?
Accurate figures for the middle 50% grade point average of Boston College can vary from year to year, but generally speaking, the GPA required to be competitive for admission ranges from about 3.7-4 out of 4.0 unweighted.
However, I'd like to emphasize that having a GPA within this range doesn't guarantee acceptance, nor does having a GPA below this range rule out a potential acceptance. Admissions consider other factors as well, including extracurricular activities, essays, letters of recommendation, and course rigor. So, don't undervalue the importance of these facets in your application.
For maximum admissions success, I would recommend aiming for the higher end of the GPA scale, and focus on excelling in other areas of your application as well.
