Hey folks, I'm considering applying to Northern Arizona University, but I'm not sure what their GPA requirement is. Does anyone have that info? It would help a lot as I figure out my chances there.
Northern Arizona University (NAU) follows a holistic review process which considers many factors like your high-school curriculum and personal achievements, among others. However, academic performance, including GPA, does play a significant role in the overall assessment.
NAU states that you will be considered for admission if you have a 2.5 core GPA, among other requirements. But to give you a general idea, the average high school GPA of their admitted students is around 3.7. However, do remember that this is just an average, not a strict threshold. Thus, even if your GPA is a little below, other components of your application such as extracurricular activities or letters of recommendation can compensate.
Just a friendly reminder that it's vital to focus on maintaining and even improving upon your current GPA. Concurrently, keep working on the other aspects of your application to be a strong all-around candidate. Good luck with your application to NAU!
