Hey y'all, FSU's become a big dream of mine and I'm trying to figure out where I stand. Does anyone know the average GPA of students who get in? I'm trying to see if my current GPA will cut it...feeling a little anxious.
Hello! Most accepted students at Florida State University have a GPA between 4.2 and 4.6 on a weighted scale. That being said, FSU does utilize a holistic admissions process, so your GPA is only one part of your application.
Other factors like your course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays will also be considered. So, if your GPA is slightly below the average, don't despair – you still have many opportunities to shine in your application. And even if you're within or above this range, make sure you're also investing time and energy into these other important aspects of your application.
If you want to know how your application as a whole stacks up at FSU, I'd check out CollegeVine's free chancing engine, which accounts for all quantifiable elements of your application, including not just GPA but also course rigor, test scores, and extracurriculars to give you personalized odds of acceptance at FSU and hundreds of other colleges: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator
