Hello everyone, I am considering Drexel University, but I'm not sure whether my GPA aligns with their average admitted student's GPA. Does anyone here know what GPA Drexel typically expects? Thanks for your help!
According to the available data, the average GPA of admitted students at Drexel University tends to hover around 3.8. That being said, keep in mind that Drexel's admissions process doesn't solely focus on your GPA. While it is an important factor, they also consider many other elements of your application like your courses in high school (rigor of the curriculum), your extracurricular activities, and potentially, how you articulate your interests in your essays.
Remember, this GPA is an average which means some admitted students had higher GPAs and some had lower GPAs. Just because your GPA might be below the average does not mean you won't get in, and vice-versa. Every application is evaluated individually and holistically.
It can be helpful to compare your academic profile to that of the average admitted student, but don't let it discourage you from applying if you are slightly below the average. You can use CollegeVine's free admissions calculator to estimate your odds of admission given your entire profile, not just your GPA: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator. Stay positive and make sure to highlight your strengths in your application. Best of luck!
