Yo! So I've been dreaming of Tar Heel blue and really want to get into UNC Chapel Hill. I'm working hard to keep my grades up, but what's the GPA that UNC expects from their applicants? Just want to make sure I’m on the right track or if I need to kick it up a notch.
Hello! I can see you're determined to join the Tar Heels, and your focus on academics is a great start. UNC Chapel Hill, like many competitive universities, doesn't have a minimum GPA requirement, but they do look for students who excel in their studies. Most admitted students have GPAs that are in the 'A' range. To raise your possibilities of admission, strive to maintain or improve your GPA during your final years of high school, challenging yourself with honors or AP courses if available and manageable for you. Always remember that while GPA is important, it's one of many factors that UNC considers. However, hitting a high GPA mark will certainly help your application stand out. Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to reach out if you need more guidance!
