Wingate University GPA requirements

Hey folks, I'm looking at Wingate University. Does anyone know what the GPA requirements are? Also, do they take weighted or unweighted GPAs?

Wingate University, like many colleges, doesn't have an explicit minimum GPA requirement. However, they do have a general guideline for admission. The average GPA of admitted students tends to be around 3.33, but this doesn't mean a lower GPA will automatically disqualify you. Admissions processes consider several factors, and strong extracurricular involvement or a demanding course load could potentially offset a GPA that's lower than the average.

As for your second question, typically, colleges look at both weighted and unweighted GPAs, but they tend to place more significance on weighted GPAs because they provide a better indication of a student's course rigor. Therefore, it's usually beneficial to take harder courses if you can handle them because they'll increase your weighted GPA.

Keep in mind that schools often recalculate your GPA based on their own scales and what they consider to be a rigorous course. This ensures they are comparing all students equitably, regardless of varying grading scales at different high schools.
