Hey, my peeps! I'd appreciate some advice or information about the average GPA for students admitted to Syracuse University. Is there anyone currently attending who doesn't mind sharing their HS GPA? Thanks a bunch!
Hello there! Admissions standards can definitely vary from year to year and program to program, but to give you a ballpark figure, the average high school GPA of incoming freshmen at Syracuse University usually hovers around 3.75. That's on a 4.0 scale, and it's an average, meaning plenty of students were accepted with GPAs both above and below that mark.
It's important to remember that universities like Syracuse don't just look at your GPA in isolation. They consider the difficulty level of your courses (like honors, AP, or IB classes), trends in your grades, and your extracurricular involvements too. If you're excelling in challenging classes and have demonstrated commitment and achievement outside of the classroom, that's going to strengthen your application, even if your GPA is slightly below the average.
I hope this helps give you some context! Best of luck in your college journey!
