Does anyone know what kind of GPA Michigan University usually looks for in their applicants? I'm trying to figure out if I have a shot at getting in.
The University of Michigan typically looks for students who perform quite well academically. The middle 50% GPA range of recently admitted students is approximately between 3.8 and 4.0 on an unweighted 4.0 scale. This means, roughly half of admitted students have a high school GPA within this range. Do keep in mind that this is just a range, and not an absolute cut-off. Admissions officers look at the entirety of your application, including academic rigor, extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and letters of recommendation. So while GPA is important, keep in mind that it's only one part of the application.
