What's the acceptance rate for the University of Alabama?

I'm really hoping to go to the University of Alabama, but I'm not sure if my academics will be strong enough. Could someone tell me the acceptance rate? And maybe some info about the average applicant's GPA or other stats? Thanks a ton!

The University of Alabama has a fairly high acceptance rate compared to some other universities, around 76%.

In terms of academic qualifications, as of the recent few cohorts, the average high school GPA for incoming freshmen was around 3.87 on the 4.0 scale. This represents an academically challenging group of students who have generally succeeded in their high school curricula.

However, keep in mind that GPA doesn't tell the whole story. The academic rigor of your courses matters too. The University likes to see applicants who have challenged themselves with a strong course load, so do make sure you're taking advanced classes in high school if they are available to you and you're able to handle the workload.

Remember, these are just averages and there will be students accepted with GPAs both above and below that number. The University of Alabama adopts a holistic approach to the admissions process and they evaluate your accomplishments in the context of your individual circumstances. An applicant's character, community involvement, and extracurricular achievements are also considered. If you feel your academic stats are not strong, do focus on portraying a vivid and distinctive representation of yourself in your essays and through your extracurricular involvement.
