Hey guys, I've been considering Arizona State University for my first choice and wondering about the typical GPA of admitted students. Any ideas?
Arizona State University (ASU) typically admits students who have a solid academic record. The average GPA for admitted students tends to be around 3.54. However, keep in mind that these are just averages - ASU takes a holistic approach to admissions and evaluates applicants based not just on grades, but also extracurricular activities, leadership positions, volunteer work, work experience, and personal essays.
So if your GPA is slightly below the average, you could still be a strong candidate if you have other impressive parts of your application. Alternatively, having a GPA well above the average doesn't guarantee admission. It's all about the complete picture the admissions committee can paint of you from your application materials. Remember to make your application as robust and well-rounded as possible!
