I have the University of Alabama on my list, and I'm curious about the average GPA of accepted students. Anyone know or know where I might find this info?
The University of Alabama hasn't publicly released an official average GPA for accepted students; however, based on various data from individual student profiles, the average GPA for admitted students seems to hover around the 3.6 to 3.9 range on a 4.0 scale. This is indicative of a mix of A- and B+ grades on average.
Do keep in mind that the University of Alabama, like many universities, looks at the whole application and not just grades. They will consider the interactions of your GPA, course rigor, extracurriculars, and essays, among other components. For instance, if your GPA might be slightly lower, but you've taken more challenging AP or IB classes and have strong extracurriculars, this could potentially balance out your application.
It's always best to refer to the university's official website or contact the admissions department directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information. You can get in touch with the admissions advisor for your region here: https://adm.ua.edu/portal/find_my_recruiter.
