Any idea about average GPA for University of Florida?

Hello all! I've been aiming to apply to UF, but I'm curious to know if my GPA stacks up. Does anyone know what the average GPA for admitted students at UF is? Thanks for your help!

The University of Florida (UF) is fairly competitive and has a high average GPA for accepted students. As of the most recent data, the weighted average GPA of admitted students hovers around a 4.4. This indicates that most successful applicants to UF have primarily A grades.

Don't forget that UF, like many universities, practices holistic admission, so GPA is not the only factor that will determine your admission outcome. It's equally important to concentrate on other aspects of your application such as your extracurricular activities, and personal essays.

Maintaining a strong GPA is essential, but diversifying your application with strong essays and meaningful extracurriculars can also significantly increase your chances of acceptance. For example, students have increased their odds by excelling in their chosen field, also known as having a "spike" that sets them apart from even other talented applicants, or by demonstrating exceptional achievement or leadership in their extracurricular activities.
