I'm trying to figure out if SUNY Albany is a viable option for me. I can't seem to find clear information about their GPA requirements anywhere. Has anyone found a definite answer on this? If you're currently attending or have been admitted before, I'd appreciate any insight!
SUNY Albany doesn't list a specific minimum GPA requirement for admission. However, the average admitted student unweighted GPA is around 3.7 on an 4.0 scale. Keep in mind this is not a strict cutoff. If your GPA is below this, remember that colleges may also take into account course rigor, extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, and your personal statement. Having strengths in these areas can potentially offset a lower GPA. If SUNY Albany is a school you're interested in, I'd encourage you to apply regardless of your GPA. Remember, admission decisions are based on a host of factors, not just your GPA!
