Info on Howard University GPA

Hey! I am considering applying to Howard University and want to know more about their GPA requirements. What's the average GPA of admitted students at Howard? Does Howard use weighted or unweighted GPAs in their admissions process?

Howard University, like many other universities, typically seeks students who are academically strong. The average GPA of admitted students usually falls around 3.65. However, take into account that the situation isn't entirely black and white as your chances of admission depend on various other aspects in addition to GPA such as the strength of your coursework, your SAT or ACT score, your extracurricular involvement, and your essays.

As for your second question, Howard University, like many universities, calculates an applicant's GPA based on all academic courses taken in high school. They are likely to consider both your weighted and unweighted GPAs. What they want to see is your performance in a rigorous course load, which includes AP, IB, Honors, and Dual Enrollment courses. If your high school calculates both a weighted and unweighted GPA, Howard will typically consider your weighted GPA to account for the difficulty of the courses you've taken.

Remember, every applicant is different, and these are general guidelines. Lastly, always remember to verify the most current policy and averages directly from Howard University's admissions office or website for the most accurate and recent information.
