Hey guys! Your friendly neighborhood junior here, stressing out a bit. I've been looking at Syracuse University – amazing campus, great programs, but I'm kind of in the dark about the GPA they usually require. Does anyone know the GPA needed to get into Syracuse University? Cheers.
Hello! It's understandable why you're interested in Syracuse University, it's a great school with a beautiful campus and diverse programs. When it comes to GPA, the average GPA of admitted students at Syracuse is around a 3.8. Remember, this is an average so it means that there are students above and below this score that get accepted.
Given that Syracuse uses a holistic approach in their admissions process, GPA is only one part of the equation. They also factor in your course rigor, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal essays, among other things. So, even if your GPA might not be around the average, other strong parts of your application could help you stand out.
Good luck with your college application process!
