Hello guys, so I'm considering Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) as one of my college options. Right now, I'm a bit worried about my GPA. Could anyone provide some insight into what GPA they generally look for? Much appreciated!
Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) has an acceptance rate of around 76%, so it's less competitive than some other institutions. If you have a GPA of at least 2.8, an SAT score of at least 1060, or an ACT score of at least 21, you are guaranteed admission.
However, most accepted students do have a GPA that's quite a bit higher than the minimum - around 3.3 - 3.4. At the same time, even if you are below a 2.8, you could still be admitted so long as you showcase strengths in other areas of your application, like your extracurricular profile.
To summarize, with at least a 2.8 you'll be guaranteed admission at PVAMU, but with a slightly higher GPA you'll likely be in better position to succeed once you actually arrive on campus. But you can also be admitted if your GPA is below a 2.8 - this benchmark is not set in stone. Good luck with your college application process!
