Hey everyone! I'm a junior and starting to look into my prospective colleges. The University of Hawaii really catches my eye, but I've noticed that admission rates are pretty selective. Does anyone know what the GPA requirements are like for UH? Don't want to get my hopes up too much! Thanks!
The University of Hawaii at Manoa has a holistic admissions process, meaning they consider various elements of your application, such as your coursework, class rank, SAT or ACT scores, and extracurriculars. GPA is certainly an important aspect of this, though.
Now, for specifics: students applying to UH Manoa tend to have a GPA on a 4.0 scale somewhere between 3.0 and 3.5 in rigorous classes, with a preference towards those which are more competitive. However, having a GPA above this range would improve a student's chances of acceptance, since admission does indeed tend to be fairly selective.
One more thing to keep in mind is that just meeting the minimum GPA requirement doesn't guarantee admission as UH Manoa may consider other factors as well. It’s always a good idea to push yourself academically and engage in challenging courses that align with your prospective major to demonstrate your abilities. Good luck with your college search!
