Hey, just a stressed junior here diving into the college process. Does anyone know what the average GPA that Uconn is looking for is? I know it varies and isn't the only thing they look at, but it'd still be great to know. Thanks in advance!
The University of Connecticut (UConn) is a fairly competitive school, and its average admitted student's GPA falls within a range of approximately 3.6 to 3.9 on a 4.0 scale. Splendid performance in rigorous coursework or stellar achievements can often offset minor GPA imperfections. Additionally, a strong applicant will likely have good standardized test scores, effective letters of recommendation, a solid application essay, and meaningful extracurricular activities. However, these are all averages, and there are certainly students admitted with GPAs both above and below these numbers.
Just remember, your GPA is one factor in your application. Your entire academic record, including course rigor and grade trends, will be evaluated.
