Hi! I'm planning to apply to Holy Cross, but I'm not sure where I stand academically. What is the average GPA there? Will a 3.4 hold me back?
The average GPA at Holy Cross is approximately 3.8. This is an average, not a cutoff, and the admissions committee looks at each application holistically. While GPA is a component, it's only a part of your overall application. Your 3.4 might be slightly below the average, but you should still apply if Holy Cross is a school you're interested in. Your GPA is only one part of your profile and other aspects such as your essays, recommendation letters, extracurricular activities, and more also play a role. Good luck with your college applications!
