Hi, I've been looking at Virginia Commonwealth University as a possible option. Can anyone tell me what the average accepted GPA is? Trying to get a handle on where I stand.
The average GPA of accepted students at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) generally ranges around 3.7 on a 4.0 scale. This is a rough average and not an absolute cutoff.
Remember, however, that colleges, including VCU, will consider more than just your GPA when they review your application. Alongside academic performance, they'll be interested in your extracurriculars, letters of recommendation, personal and supplemental essays, and test scores (if you choose to submit them). Furthermore, the strength of your course load (for example, AP or IB classes) is also a significant factor.
It's always a good strategy to ensure you have strengths in other areas, in addition to aiming for a high GPA.
